I am surprised there are not a few more clamouring to get into the Pakistani market. I remember years ago some KLM flights orginated in Karachi before I boarded in DXB and then they stopped all add ons. Seem to remember Colombo was another they did from DXB.

There are large Pakistani communities all over Europe that have little choice then BA, PIA and now Lufthansa...I would think there would be room for a BMI, AF or KLM to take a go at Islamabad or something and take the sting out of Emirates power in the market.
