Dear Heavy D,

Thank you for your response.

I have stated very clearly that I have no problem with any service to anywhere, including Israel, and that I am in favour of increasing transport and communication everywhere. I have not stated that I consider Israel to be a threat, either.I agree with you that Iran is of concern for Dubai and other neighbours.

The question which I have raised is that of different rules for different operators having the same AOCs from the same oversight authority. Other UAE operators are prohibited from serving Israel in any manner, yet we see one of our competitors utilizing an Abu Dhabi-based aircraft to do so, in what is said to be commercial service. If it is some kind of special mission on behalf of the government of UAE, which you state in your post, that is interesting and hopeful, as it might be early signs of normalization of relations.

The issue of the aircraft being uitlized in commercial public charters while not being governed by any AOC is discussed in another thread.
