Just wandering if anyone has any news on how the airports "project middle east" or what ever it was called is going?
Obviously the pax numbers have declined this year but there are positives that would help the airport in securing a service, obviously 4 years successful service with CO daily EWR service, and now TOM operating SFB direct on 767, and higher pax throughput that NCL who have daily DXB, so if an airline had the right equipment we know the runway can provide for an 8.5-9 hour direct flight which would more than cover DXB. I'm guessing that EK with a B787 or A350 is looking more likely in a few years?
I dont believe EK have any B757s, was there a loco being set up in DXB I read about somewhere? flydubai.com or something??
