I am sure the UAE want to get rid of Emirates by controlling then into Etihad.

So mergers again in the Gulf. Interesting gamble. 😀 Qatar Airways is next I am affraid.

and hopefully get rid of the 10 abrest economy seating on EK 777’s and replace it with 9 abrest economy seating

Not gonna happen, at least in the short term. Maybe when JXB opens, maybe.

I am sure of that. A kind of revenge. Emirates was a response against former Gulf Air. Etihad against Emirates. With the aid from Abu Dhabi to the ailing Dubai Emirate economy, I am sure the UAE want to get rid of Emirates by controlling then into Etihad.

So mergers again in the Gulf. Interesting gamble. 😀 Qatar Airways is next I am affraid.
