Yes but ..... destinations like that will only be profitable for EK if they can derive most of the traffic from strong currency areas. African originating traffic is mostly lower revenue.
Oh... I forgot, profit doesn't seem to matter much to EK, it's more about domination, and I'm sure there are plenty of hookers waiting to fly in from those places to ply their trade in Dubai, that Islamic paragon of virtue where sex outside marriage and the consumption of alcohol are illegal but openly encouraged as and when it suits them.
