While Emirates only has one primary hub in Dubai (DXB), the airline does operate some fifth freedom flights around the globe. It looks like the airline may be significantly growing its number of fifth freedom flights to the Americas, though only time will tell how this plays out. [...]

Ben,
I dont think that Emirates will fly from Mexico City-MEX to Milan,
Aeromexico will fly that route on march 2027 with a new Boeing 787.
Well, well, well...
When Emirates announced flights from Barcelona to Mexico City, Aeromexico did the same and started flying to BCN before EK. And now they want to do the same as yesterday, AMX anounced that they will fly from Mexico City to Milan starting next March, lol
