On the route debate, I think a third EK or QR in 2012 was nailed on until
the Manchester expansion happened although Dubai was up 4% in July
at 46390. So maybe things are not quite so bad as I first thought.
Qatar - I think forget it in the short-term.
I think some of the city routes mentioned are fine by loco although in an
ideal world it would be nice to see full-service airlines or flybe double daily
but it looks like things are going to carry on moving slowly.
India is the obvious source for long-haul but reading some of the politics that goes on it is nothing short of breath-taking.
