Will that be enough to "bribe" QR into considering the Bombardier C-Series (built in Canada) aircraft for a big order? I know QR was considering the C-Series at one point. Good job for pushing the routes access in order to consider the aircraft purchase - trade is a two-way street.
Someone else on another board said it best: the Canadians are protectionist hosers who are afraid to compete with EK, QR, EY and others who offer a much better in-flight product to the Middle East. Sad but true. Capacity dumping is an easy, protectionist excuse (or crutch).
