Why emirates airline tickets expensive

Why is united emirates airline tickets more expensive than other airlines

While many European and Asian airlines are known for superior in-flight service, Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar Airways have eclipsed these offerings, winning numerous awards for excellence. They are rapidly becoming the favorites of many business travelers. Besides limousine service on the ground, Emirates offers gourmet dining, 1,000 channels of in-flight entertainment, and private first-class suites complete with fully stocked individual mini-bars. Their new Airbus A380's have two showers on board with spas large enough to accommodate an entire family. although Emirates were voted the most expensive airlines in the UAE.customer are willing to pay the price for better service.

Emirates is one of several rapidly growing airlines based on the Arabian peninsula, a group that includes Abu Dhabi-based Etihad and Qatar Airways. These carriers boast brand new fleets of long-range, widebody aircraft and offer some of the finest service and accommodations in the sky.

Armed with new fleets, Emirates and the other airlines in that region are well-positioned to compete for long-range premium global air traffic routed through their centrally located Middle Eastern hubs. The recent economic boom in India and Asia, along with the introduction of a new generation of economical long range aircraft, like the Airbus A380, the Boeing 777LR, and forthcoming Boeing 787 and Airbus 350, make nonstop travel viable between cities clear across the globe. Previously, to reach most cities in Africa, India or the Middle East, U.S. travelers connected through major European transfer airports, like Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, or Paris. Emirates and the other airlines in that region have another huge advantage over U.S. and European airlines. From Dubai, Emirates serves ten nonstop destinations in India, four cities in Pakistan, more than a dozen cities in the Middle East, a similar number of African destinations, more than 20 European cities, and another 20 or so ports of call in Asia and the Pacific. No European airline covers that breadth and depth of destinations outside Europe, and all U.S. airlines combined serve only two cities in India and four in the Middle East, with Delta as the only U.S. airline flying to Africa.

they have become ridiculously expensive. I normally pay around between 700AED to 1200AED return to Beirut, but lately Emirates are charging up around 3000AED and beyond. It does not even show up as an option on Expedia because its is way more expensive than any other airline. What has happened?????
