Qatar and Emirates have become ubiquitous in the world of commercial aviation. Not only do they dominate headlines, but Boeing and Airbus will bend over backwards to serve their needs. Their influence is undeniable, and it creates this sense of invincibility - a feeling they’ll dominate forever. But the collapse of airlines like PanAm and TWA has shown that even the biggest aviation titans can fall. And it turns out that Qatar and Emirates have never been more at risk of doing the same. Let me explain…

Your viewers and followers have spoken. Stop promoting BetterHelp. Your own brand and YT image is more valuable than any money they throw at you from their fraudulent tactics

[chickenwarriorr]

betterhelp is such a scam your videos are really good it hurts to see you promoting something like that

[sentinel]

Correction. Qatar makes its money from gas primarily. It is not a large oil producer on the scale Saudi. Dubai has essentially no oil. Abu Dhabi has all the oil in UAE.

[TheBalkenende]

I think you overlooked airport infrastructure. Both Dubai and Doha have big and efficient airports. Efficiency is not something India is known for.

[VRotate]

Emirates and Qatar aren’t at risk at all. Both have got a ton of loyal customers that only will fly EK or QR.

[bodigames]

For those of you that have never flown in an A380 before…. It’s complete next level. No other plane beats it.
The comfort you have in economy is amazing.
And that’s the reason why I will keep flying Emirates.
A380 above anything

Dubai is 20% oil, 80% something else.
Abu Dhabi is 80% oil 20% something else
Something not propositioned is that Emirates survives, while Qatar and Ethiad don't.
That location as the mid point and the place where fuel efficiency is not degraded can't be overstated since, it actually works from both the US AND Europe.

Reasons I disagree with the video

1. Emirates and Qatar will always remain ahead because they ALREADY HAVE ASSETS; meaning, these new "competitors" such as Air India and Riyadh Air can count their blessings if they get any of their deliveries on time; newsflash, they WON'T!

2. Dubai has become a more popular point to point destination and while the layover and connecting business remains high, people from Europe and Asia are coming to Dubai to wine, dine, shop, entertain, and enjoy themselves; Golden and Green visas will drive Dubai's growth, and ultimately, Emirates growth; Riyadh and New Delhi won't have the same appeal

3. Emirates and Qatar already have established and experienced Human Resources; 106k employees with average tenure of 10 years; I know of folks in EK that have been with the company for 30 years and the next generation is poised to take over; Air India and Riyadh Air will require a MASSIVE recruitment drive and setup processes, procedures, and team synergies from scratch, which will take a lot of time during which EK and QR will easily expand their lead

4. The new technologies you are referring to, guess who is going to get their hands on them first? That's right, Emirates and Qatar, so they'll further expand their lead with an increasing fleet size and greater global reach; Riyadh Air's 78 aircraft will barely make a dent when compared to the 400+ fleet Emirates and Qatar will have in a few years

5. I can go on and on and on let's see if someone wants to debate then I'll bring out the rest of my points😎

As a Brit, living in S.E Asia but often flying to I don't buy the India stopover option at all. Dubai and Abu Dhabi Airports are Awesome: clean, efficient and high standards of passenger comfort.
India is a chaotic, Lawless MESS.
WHEN India builds a Western-Standard Top-Flight International Airport that is NOT crammed to capacity by people...and I can eat there without getting food poisoning...then maybe they will get a chance...but I'm not holding my breath.
I live in Brunei and fly often through Singapore and KL : All three Airports are Phenomenal.
Dubai will be a hard act to follow.

[autarchprinceps]

I always find it weird, when people somehow equate Asia meaning just East Asia. India isn't halfway between Europe and Asia, it's pretty much in the middle of Asia already, east west wise at least. Even all the Arabian peninsular states are still Asia.

Please just stop promoting Better Help, its better not to get help

[thecooletompie]

I'm not sure Airbus is bending over backwards for emirates and Qatar. They famously don't want to reengine the A380 something emirates want, they had that whole public battle with Qatar over the A350 paint issues even canceling their narrow body orders.

[rawmango]

Tbh still a lot of indians travel on emirates and qatar rather than air india and while Riyadh air is growing they still wont be as good as emirates and qatar in my opinion

[ronythomas]

You missed 1 important point Coby. A vast proportion of Emirates and QA traffic is the Indian diaspora itself. At present this huge traffic hops on Emirates or QA to travel West or East with a stop in Dubai. Air India launching direct to major Western and Eastern capitals will be a significant turning point and fundamentally affect the business models of Gulf carriers.

[CarlosLopezES]

Airplanes can do Europe - Asia without any problem. The introduction of ULR airplanes it's not an issue here for them.

[WWade-cmhx]

Qatar and Emirates have nothing to fear from India or Saudi based carriers because the cultures are so different. I've never had second thoughts about connecting in Dubai or Doha. The same cannot be said about their competitors and a 14 hour flight is still a 14 hour flight.

[ravs]

Emirates and Qatar also has competition from non-stop flights now from North America (United, American, Air Canada, Air India) to India. They may not match the service of Qatar or Emirates but the advantage of having a non-stop flight does have its benefit and that is why the number of flights have been growing.

[m_jai]

i think india needs to sort out their whole country before people would even consider a stop there.

[BBbrewer]

Fuel burn (fuel economy) does not increase exponentially with distance the way your graph was shown with distance. Yes there is truth that a long range aircraft has worse economy earlier in the flight while it is carrying the fuel needed, but the exponential factor is too small to say its better to fly a long range aircraft on shorter routes with less fuel on board because taking off, maneuvering and landing eat into that significantly. Longer range airplanes/flights have better fuel economy per seat mile than shorter flights and landing and taking off an extra time further worsens the comparison. To say that their advantage is based upon stopping midway saves fuel is misleading. Putting that graph up as any way representing the real relationship especially without any axis labels is not good especially for a channel of your caliber.

Their advantage is geography, and allows them to cover city pairs that would be too thin to operate directly (hub and spoke model advantage) or where the range didn't exist in the first place for direct service. If fuel economy was the issue why would longer range, fuel efficient aircraft ever be developed?

[OperationNonsense]

to say any indian carriers can even remotely challenge qatar and emirates is a ridiculous bad joke. apart from government subsidies offered by oil rich nations, quality of product and service is simply night and day.
