Jokes apart, Emirates is in airline business, not in developing airports. And why should they buy the terminal if they are already snatching the business out with existing facilities. Passengers select an airline on its service, not the terminal or airport its operates to/from.

Emirates advertisement in today's (July 31) newspaper.

"Fly 5 times a day from Karachi to Dubai.

Say hello to award-winning service and also enjoy special fares and discounts on Emirates Holidays"

According to the advertisement, Emirates is starting additional daily flight EK-609 from Karachi to Dubai from August 1, 2012 at 7:35PM.

Do you know what other destinations have 5 or more Emirates flights daily?

LHR and DEL, 5 each.
Pakistan has 4th highest passenger load for EK after India, Saudi Arabia and UK.

If KHI would be able to handle A380 it would be a major advantage for EK

I dont think A380 would be that effective on a short haul flight like KHI-DXB

does EK have its own lounges in Pakistan?

that is a very good news for KHI travelers ^^

and especially liked the Ad

i hope Emirates makes a world class lounge at new islamabd airport..getting tired of the chicken sandwich and sprite bottle waiters;)

Highly unlikely with 9 x weekly service

then they should consider a lounge in khi or even provide limousine service for j class if khi is such of imprtance to them.
the new flight means either there is still a lot to drain from pia with 777er or to kill any competition.
soon pia wont be even able to fill a 737 for dubai

That is a very interesting piece of info. Thnx

Exactly....

TAILWIND= do u not know that Emirates is owned by the same people who own the dubai airports, and fuels companies and caterings and hotels etc....so of course Emirates is into building airports..
