Have the airport authority sorted out the logistics of EK coming to NCL. For example,
- Ticket Desk
- Dedicated Check In area with numerous desk
- Boarding lounge suitable for J and Y class pax
- Business lounge facilities
Obviously, this is a momentous route for NCL to gain and I am sure everyone will want it to perform beyond expectation, but I do doubt wether NCL has the facilities to facilitate such a high class operation as quite frankly it is a first for NCL.
I am sure EK will not want to wait for checkin counters to become available after a charter has finished, nor will they squeeze their ticket/customer service desk into a tiny desk in a corner somewhere. I should imagine business facilities will be a priority too. Obviously they will have use of the new airbridge, but the lounge attached is hardly suitable for a full A330 with 2 classes of pax?
