Skiing: can you please give me an example of some of EKs domestic flights?
Thank you.
I never said they had a domestic network. In fact I said just the opposite.

If you're going to compare apples to apples, at least all of the legacy carriers I can think of flying internationally also have a strong domestic presence in their home country. Emirates is a parasite, existing SOLELY to siphon traffic from everyone else's markets.
To which I replied:
Maybe you could propose a domestic route structure for the UAE airlines. Have you even looked at a map?

Emirates does have an extensive network in the region; routes of 40 min to 3 hours.
My point being that while they don't have a 'domestic' network they do have a not unsubstantial short haul 'regional' network serving Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi, Kuwait etc.
