A300, hi there.
Why hoping? I though we were supposed to start it a while ago, but didn't get the traffic rights. Do you think QR will get the rights soon? When do you think will QR be able to start?
Thanks.

New EK route
Interesting new route,
Emirates will add a 3rd flight on its Dubai to New York JFK route on Oct 29th. Unlike the other 2 flights which operate nonstop, this flight will operate daily via Hamburg using a 777-300.
