The Germans are running scared just like the Canadians. Unlike EK, LH's product is sub-standard (nothing special or unique). If I were EK I would start flying future A380s on all allotted German routes and frequencies to maximise its revenue in that market since access will be limited going forward. Make it a bit cheaper (not much cheaper) and easier for all Germans to get to Middle East, India and Asian destinations (especially highlighting those LH does not serve).
