Is say Australia, happy to let a M.E. country controll its VH registered aircraft over their ME territory?
Yes, it is! Look at the EK-QF tie-up. QF is giving itself to EK. EK is going to be more than simply controlling QF over ME territory; it's going to be controlling it world-wide....
(sorry for thread drift but I couldn't pass up on the irony of that statement by Wunwing)
