I think that after the success of Dubai, given time to mature, of course there is, New York has a much higher O&D market and is in general in much demand. Emirates, Newcastle Airport and the councils and businesses etc. Say that since EK started, business between the North East and Australia has risen massively, and although Emirates has onward connections to the rest of the world, Someone like UA has extensive connections in the USA. I think that if EK want to make it serious in the EU-US, Asia-US, Australasia-US markets, they will need another QF-like joint venture, and a carrier I can see being willing to do something like that could be AA.
