The start of SEA service could affect "onward" flying to India and SE Asia. Right now we send an A330 from SEA to AMS and at the end of this month a 7ER from SEA to CDG. Some of those pax connect in AMS/CDG and fly onward to India (on Delta from AMS). Emirates now gives them a second direct choice via Dubai.
