Not true. For once, can people get it into their heads that Shk A is not the head of the regulatory authority - he is the Cjairman of Ek and the head of what is effectively the airport company - it's just that thr names are similar. Do you seriously think that the FAA would have allowed EK access to the USA if there was such a conflict of interest? No...
You're kidding, right??? HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al Maktoum, IS the President of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and Chairman of Dubai Airports !!!
ps - I have taken the bait if you're trying to wind some ppl up !!
