City,

But you didn't, did you? You made a statement of fact that is incorrect.

Who exactley is it that you think provides EK with cheap fuel and why?

The UAE does not produce fuel, it sells crude oil at the market price. The vast majority of this comes from Abu Dhabi, a very small amount from Dubai. Oil companies then refine it overseas and ship some of it back- why would they do this for any less than the going rate?

If EK gets cheap fuel in Dubai, why do we often tanker fuel in the other direction?
