Emirates looking at setting up hub in Auckland

Dateline: Monday February 23, 2004

 

Emirates is examining the feasibility of setting up a major hub at Auckland, according to New Zealand and Dubai sources, which would put intense competitive pressure on Qantas and Air New Zealand.

 

The Dubai-based airline is looking at services from Auckland to Fiji, Los Angeles/San Francisco and Buenos Aires as part of a major South Pacific expansion that would give it round-the-world capability.

Emirates is expected to be granted a second daily flight between Sydney and Dubai this year and will use its new Australia-New Zealand rights to draw Australian passengers onto its South Pacific network. Planning also is well advanced for an Oct. start of a new flight from Perth to Auckland or Christchurch that will be part of increased services to western Australia.

 

The carrier currently flies a daily Dubai-Perth flight. It will increase to 11 times a week from Oct. with a four-times-weekly Dubai-Perth-Auckland or Christchurch service.--

Hallo,

 

von Auckland nach Buenos Aires dürfte sich der Bedarf in Grenzen halten.Selbst mit Zubringern aus Asien.Ansonsten ist die Strecke über Johannesburg nach Buenos Aires immer noch die kürzeste.

 

Von Ausralien/Asien nach San Francisco über die Antarktis ?

Ist das der kürzeste weg ?

Wie konkret sind diese Pläne denn ?

Mit diesen Expansionsbestrebungen macht zumindest die exzessive Bestellung von A380 etwas mehr Sinn in meinen Augen...
