Have you noticed EK management NEVER takes responsibility for anything? Its always someone else fault. Its the economy, the terrorism, Trump, you name it. Those paid to run the airline are never guilty of anything.
I love the reasons Ek management posts to justify their complete incompetence! Political vacuum? Tell me when there is no political vacuum? Financial distress? It's always present, the job of the management is to make a smooth sale through the distress, its their job to prevent it. Those people live in a parallel reality...
