In the interests of constructive discussion, I wonder if we may gear the analysis towards one of a more general overview of EK at PER? We know EK has already gone from 3x daily to 2x daily at PER recently, and earlier this year, ranked PER's performance below ADL, MEL and SYD, saying PER had become a "battleground." I wonder what direction EK could and/or will take at PER in the near future - for example, could we see PER get a one-stop service through somewhere such as India? India and the UAE are renegotiating their ASA, which may allow this.

UL would have to operate this route, as JQ's NEO's are primarily being used to DPS, to free up the 788's (and I doubt a 788 would be used on PER - CMB). UL has said that if MEL goes well, it will re-launch SYD, so we'd likely see UL at SYD before PER. That being said, PER has a good geographical position for this - the NEO's can be used on PER - CMB, and if a deal is done, some of the lower-yielding Australian and New Zealand traffic could be routed through PER. IMO, connections would definitely be needed. I wonder whether QF would consider closer UL ties?
