Exclamation Empty planes

I'm sorry gents, but I have trouble imagining a profitable domestic route with a B777 or A340. Especially when their main base is a continent away. I seriously doubt that EK will be buying new equipment in order to satisfy a possible gap in a far-off market. It is the smaller operators who will make it in the long run. 1-Time, Comair, SAX, Airlink, Nationwide. Less red tape and time wasting. Less image and more bottom line.
