More than enough indians for everybody.

Ek fly 8 times a day to London, 2x Man, 2x Bhx, 1x Ncl and 1x Gla.
So thats 14 times a day to Uk. I have no idea how many times EY flys to UK but my point is that the 3x Lhr BA and VS flights are (Were) always full.

Not sure what Transport Canada is afraid of by letting EK fly in more but
lets face it 90% of the pax for YYZ come from India. Now as far as I know AC don't fly direct to India but only offer it through STAR parters.
Surely there are enough Indians for everybody!!!

Sure the Pax don't start in DXB the old O and D pax thing but how many pax on BA or UA or any other airline start in India?

However I respect Transport Canada's decision to stick two fingers up to anybody they wish.
In Dxb we see the locals being protected and rightly so some say, funny how emirates doesn't like it when the Canadians protect their locals (AC) even if it doesn't really make much sense.

Now anybody heard anything about the 777F that was supposed to turn up in March? Some one said they couldn't get finance as it a frieghter..(Just a rumour though)

Ta BM

No offense meant to Indians by the way.
