The reality is Emirates will always remain a core loss making sponsership, accomodation and administrative company supported by a profit making airline operations business as a sideline subsiduary.
All will continue as is until they have killed a few hundred people each, and then loose market share as a result.
Competion from india will increase and the Numpties in India will eventually realise that if they only spend a couple of billion dollars on infrastructure they will be able to drive the arab airlines into the sea with an even lower cost base and they are the majority nationality the arab airlines carry.
Global aviation will continue to be outsourced to ever lower cost hubs.
Iran will get out of hand and spark another war and the inustry will go further downhill.
Anyway thats what my crystal balls say so back to my Cab Sav
