Quote: "As a curious spectator who lives in the region, does anybody know if Emirates ever have or ever will consider adding any caribbean routes? It seems to be the only major holiday destination they don't fly to.

Obviously BA, VS etc.. have a heavy presence here, but I didn't think that would bother Ek that much, just a lack of demand, or something more? I'd love to see EK flying around the islands one day."

Expect that would depend on the amount of traffic between the Caribbean and Asia/Australasia, probably not a great deal.

It's too long a dog-leg to expect traffic between the Caribbean and Europe/Africa to route via DXB!

As for the Americas......
