In the JFK incident it was suggested that EK get special consideration since they fly internationally and JFK ATC was non-standard when they told the crew that they were too low:

Personal experience is, I fly into JFK twice a year. And with all due respect JFK is the worst atc I ever had to deal with in my 22years of long haul flying because of your non standard RT. A note to your managers.
As an Emirates pilot, you are required to be ready to fly at any one of our destinations within 30 min. You as atc is sitting in your tower, so may I please ask that you take this into consideration . So please treat us accordingly.
