Is it just me, or is anybody else wondering where the hell EK is going to operate those A/C to and if there is indeed that many passengers to fill up all those A380's ordered last week in addition to the one's ordered a while back? Is EK expanding at a pace that is just way too quick esp. for this region that could cause it (and other regional airlines in the M.E.) to colapse like all other major airlines? Comments appreciated.

They claim to be adding some 30 destinations over the next 7 years, in addition to Moscow, Brisbane and Lagos etc. And they will be doing New York and San Francisco next year.

Surely much of the additional traffic will be through developing tourism in the Emirates, particularly Dubai. The Palm Islands projects will fill several aircraft!
