Emirates Ready for Wait in Push for Flights to Fortress Germany - Bloomberg

Emirates Ready for Wait in Push for Flights to Fortress Germany - Bloomberg:



"Gulf carrier Emirates said it’s ready to play the long game in seeking to add routes in Germany, one of the few major travel markets that the world’s No. 1 airline by international traffic is struggling to penetrate.



Emirates, which has overcome the modest population of its home base by building Dubai into a long-haul transfer hub, can serve only four German cities under a bilateral air-services accord dating from 1975 that is “maybe a little old,” Chief Commercial Officer Thierry Antinori said yesterday in Frankfurt.



“We will get the traffic rights one day or the other,” Antinori said. “It’s a question of time. We have to respect the rules. Germany is missing an opportunity, it is a pity.”"
