Question

Assuming this is pure expansion without acquisition, the numbers just don't add up. From 40 aircraft to 210 in 114-odd months. That's one new airplane every three weeks. Well nigh impossible, unless of course 410 is right..

But EK to buy GF? Too many bruised egos in Bahrain and Abu Dhabi for that idea to be taken seriously. If it works though, there will be carnage regarding seniority. That will be a bunfight worth watching!

What was that curse? Oh, I remember, "May you live in interesting times".
