The only strong markets in AUH would probably be the ISC and PAK. That will be a big hit on GF. Otherwise, I would agree with Air Dream that AUH traffic is relatively small with most of the passengers connecting anyway. Those can be transferred to BAH and MCT. But can MCT airport handle this? That is yet to be seen. So if AUH pulls out in 6 months, it seems to me the airport will be more empty than usual given it will take EY a long time before they can serve all the routes GF used to. Even though they are getting the 777, most of them will be for long-haul and not short-hops to ISC and back.
