Their housing bubble burst the same time ours did. EK is becoming more and more of a connecting airline. Geographically speaking they are the best positioned to serve everywhere but North America. Europe is eight hrs and the East Side of Australlia is about nine to ten.
The only thing that they really have going against them is their middle of the night ops.
My friends that live in South Africa use them to connect through DXB to America.
