Let’s say ( and nothing has been announced) .. best case 2O percent .. worst case 50 percent. This will rip through the whole economy of Dubai.


Pilots who are retrenched that own their own homes.. who will they sell them to? I’m guessing there is not a big demand at the moment. Likewise cars .. you have to leave .. any market for your car?


i have no idea of the figures.. but I’m guessing EK pilots and cabin crew spend a lot of money in Dubai. Remove 50 percent of them ( worst case).. that’s going to hurt.

If this happens. It won’t be pretty.

Good luck to all
