Lots of cargo space on the plane for handling UPS and FedEx subcontracting importing economy 2-5 day delivery to Qatar which it doesn't have. I'm sure the UAE has profits in mind.

While it is great that Emirates wants to blow their own horn about the world's shortest A380 flight, the might want to do some research about aircraft.."world’s largest commercial aircraft" is incorrect...world's largest passenger aircraft yes but world’s largest commercial aircraft...the AN225

Because you made a valid, intellectual, and correct post. I think sometimes it not what is said, but who said it that gets voted on. Dogs barked and the wagons kept rolling on West.

There is a cure for fat finger errors. Just vote again and it will toggle. It appears that your vote is remembered- the implication is that voting isn't completely anonymous.

So in only one hour and ten minutes you can take an A380 from nowhere to less than nowhere.

Impressive.

Hehehe Qatar has a ruler that gives money and stocks to citizens every year. One year the stocks given by the emir was given with telling them they should not sell the stocks. In a years time the stocks turned into over a million dollars value. That's just one of the years. So as you can see it's too time consuming for them to hire a small private jet so they just lower themselves to flying first class.
