Emirates made the right move, will help save costs | GulfNews.com:

"Emirates’ decision to cut down on its US flights is being viewed by aviation industry experts as the right move, and one which will result in saving costs for the airline. “I think it is the right move to save costs. They [Emirates] need to better match capacity and demand. So while it hurts revenue a bit, it does far more by cutting costs, and in the end they end up losing much less,” says Addison Schonland, Partner at US-based AirInsight. Emirates made a commercial decision on Wednesday of reducing its flights to five of the 12 US cities it currently operates services to in the wake of the electronics ban and travel restrictions imposed by the Trump administration. The move has resulted in airline experiencing a drop in demand on the route."
