Way to go, Emirates. Expect nothing less than atleast a daily A330 service.
I'm sure it will do well. However I wonder how this will effect loads to Vienna, as I understand the VIE flights captured feed from Prague.
Here's hoping Copenhagen and Madrid/Lisbon come on board next.

Quoting Behramjee (Reply 10): dont think so ARN and OSL are major EU gateways by any stretch of the imagination and nor has it ever been on EK's radar.
They may not be major EU gateways, but how do you know that have never been on EK's radar?
Next flights: ARN-LHR-IAD on BA 319/VS343 EWR-LHR-ARN on VS346/BA319

Quoting LOT767SP-LPA (Reply 13): I'm really disappointed Sad that WAW is out of their list of the new routes to open. What is wrong with this city? Black hole on Europe map.
Not enough high yielding business traffic.
Thats unfortunate - WAW is an absolutely beautiful place to visit.

Quoting LondonCity (Reply 15): But you could make the same claim regarding PRG which is more of a leisure than a business destination.
Not anymore. The Czech Republic has attracted a lot of companies the last 2 years because it's cheaper then Western Europe. I work now for a company that closed in AMS and is based in BRQ now. And since it's a worldwide multinational we have loads of business traffic to the US / UK and Asia

Actually Mr. Tim Clark himself mentioned when he was interviewed by Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten in November that they will focus on Copenhagen for now (and not OSL). http://m.aftenposten.no/article.htm?articleId=3367174
Next flights: CPH-FRA-CPH: CPH-BKK-MNL-BKK-CPH; CPH-BRU-CPH

Quoting AirIndia (Thread starter): Finally, PRG is on the netwrok. should have been there long time back.......
On this we can agree. I was surprised to not see this earlier.
Quoting Flying Belgian (Reply 9): They still miss MAD, BCN, ARN, CPH, OSL, BRU, GVA as major Europeans gateways.
Much of EK's growth is dependent on bilateral rights. I'm under the impression the Swiss rights are maxed out (in terms of frequency). Is that correct? Or could EK fly to GVA as soon as an aircraft is available?
MAD and BCN probably wait on improvement in the Spanish economy.
ARN, CPH, and OSL would be dependent upon bilateral rights?
Quoting EBGflyer (Reply 2): I'm hoping CPH will be announced soon!
Do you have any stats on travel to India, middle-east, Asia from CPH? Also, does EK have bilateral rights?

I too wonder why no city in Poland has EK service yet.
Then again, as a transfer hub, that requires rights on the other side of DXB. I see the growth to Australia, BKK, and a few others. It will be interesting to see how EK continues to grow in 2010/2011.

I really think EK has just missed the boat on this one; they had their chance and blew it; EY got in and built up the market and now with the service going to 10 weekly, it's hard to see EK going in, especially when there are still other markets left to develop. Of course, one can't rule it out long term, especially as the Irish economy recovers, but I think EK will just have to chalk it up to experience. DUB could have been theirs and they just let it slip away.
Still, good news for PRG.
25 KL911: Don't think so. OK has no business what so ever in the gulf. It might even benefit from a codeshare with EK.
26 AirIndia: I guess you are correct. rights have maxed out. IAD? ORD? MIA? ORD has an offline sales office. Most definitely these two should be next. what about
27 MillwallSean: Well I think you are pretty much of base with that assumption. EK has been to all three airports. When Emirates enters Scandinavia is another questio
28 EBGflyer: According to the CPH website the following non-stop unserviced destinations are as follows (pr. 1. jan 2009): The number covers pax that were traveli
29 AirIndia: interesting that DEL is the busiest asian sector out of CPH. Whos got that share? LH? Now thats a lot of potential traffic for EK to ferry to DXB and
30 Abrelosojos: = Or, WRO . Saludos and congrats to EK, A.
31 EBGflyer: Busiest unserved nonstop, yes. I don't know the numbers for the direct flights from CPH to PEK, BKK, SIN, NRT. Lot of potential pax for EK, yes!
32 AirIndia: yes unserved nonstop, but i thought the figures given earlier were CPH-DEL through booked figures.................
33 EBGflyer: They are. But among them you wouldn't find BKK, PEK, SIN, NRT as they are served nonstop routes, which means DEL probably wouldn't make it as the bus
