An Emirates plane taxis to a gate at Dubai International Airport at Dubai International Airport in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. With fewer flights, some Emirates passengers may switch to big European airlines and their US partners for travel from the Middle East and Asia. The carrier’s Dubai hub was one of the 10 airports affected by a ban on electronics in carry-on luggage on US-bound flights. If travelers look to European carriers to get to the Middle East or India, U.S. carriers could benefit through revenue-sharing agreements with partner airlines. Some of the flights Emirates is cutting may not have been very profitable, van der Lende said.
