Sitting bored and a thought popped into my head...
Please don't misunderstand what I'm asking, this isn't a pipe dream post,
If EK were to take NCL up to the next step it's pretty much set in stone that it would be a frequency increase rather than the kerfuffle involved in upgrading NCL to accept daily A380's....
Anyway, from a "maximising connecting potential" point of view is there any likelihood EK would look at a split schedule i.e daily noon arrival, x4 weekly evening arrival and x3 weekly morning arrival? We're very slowly creeping up to the magic 20-25,000 mark in some months and I reckon they'll be looking out to see what they can do with us because the rest of their UK airports have just had their latest booster and I think we could maybe see 11 weekly within the next 3 years, on something A330/A340/77L sized
