Emirates to Dublin?
I was just reading a reply to a thread on the Irish aviation website about EK possibly starting a DUB service; apparently, the new Birmingham service was a close run thing, with DUB next on the list. Anyone know more. Not seeking confidential info necessarily (although I know this probably counts as such!), it's just that I've been lobbying quite hard in Ireland for direct routes to ME/Asia.
It's also reported that EK is looking at possibility of DXB-DUB-NYC/ORD, which the Irish government would almost certainly block, with a view towards pushing EK towards Shannon (they're still holding onto this hang-up over the Shannon stopover policy).
Anyone got any further info, views, opinions?
