I presume you have visted DXB.
From it's origin it has now become a main tourist/financial/trade area.
EK has become a driving force in the aviation world boosting sales for both Airbus and Boeing. providing many in avaition with a position in this business.
DXB has also kick started other middle east countries in the aviation business
QR & EY are both examples now pushing forward.
My point is who started all this,the Maktoum family with forward thinking.
otherwise the aviation world would be reliant on the far east and africa for the future. Expansion is not a bad thing & please don't bite the hand that feeds.
