Unless they are introduced by tour operators through sales of package tours, I would very much doubt it in the current economic climate. Currently we have on the charter side Cancun, Orlando and Toronto and of course the scheduled EK DXB service. We recently lost frequency on some fo the charter routes and PUJ was pulled all together. However, this winter has been big for cruise charters with sporadic departures to Barbados, La Romana and Santa Domingo.

IMHO I would say any new long haul routes are atleast 2-3 years away, but I could be wrong?? Maybe the 787, when eventually introduced may give hope??
