That's awesome! One reason is because it increased its frequencies to ISB and LHE to 4 weekly flights by 777s. Another reason is because EK started second flights to LAX daily, so that's 14 weekly flights to LAX!!!

Yeah...BTW, it also makes me wonder why Emirates would serve LAX and Houston daily non-stop twice a day from Dubai which is approximately 16 hours flight? Maybe that sector came out to be very successful because the load is no more less than 75 percent.
