EMIRATES will begin a new daily route linking Dubai and the New York area via Athens, adding fuel to a dispute with US airlines over whether Persian Gulf carriers are unfairly flooding the skies with flights to the world's largest aviation market.
The route will be Emirates' second to arrive in the US after touching down in Europe, enabling the airline to pick up passengers thousands of miles from its home base in the United Arab Emirates. The flights are "commercially and operationally feasible", the airline's president, Tim Clark, said in a statement on Monday.
