EK

Whilst a 90% load factor and a double daily flights from BHX to DXB is to be applauded, (especially given the capacity increases last year from MAN and LHR to the Middle East), Daza is right - it's the yield that matters. What concerns me is that EK, even after many years of service between BHX and DXB still don't see fit to offer First Class from BHX - this would indicate that higher end yield pax are not using EK from BHX in high numbers? I am told that Business often fills up but how many of those are paying full/non discounted fares? Not enough it would seem for EK to offer First Class from BHX as well. Do EK have 2 class A380's? If not I doubt we will be seeing them scheduled to BHX in the near future.
