BERLIN, March 17 (Reuters) - Germany's Lufthansa

expects the dominance of Gulf carriers like Emirates

and Qatar Airways on Asian routes to be diminished by the Iran

war, CEO Carsten Spohr told business magazine Manager Magazin in

an interview published on Tuesday.

"The major hubs of the Gulf carriers are located in a region

that is now clearly exposed to new risks. What this means for

the future of global air travel remains to be seen," he said.
