Hello everyone,
I was quite shocked to find out that two of the suspected hijackers had UAE passports.

1.What is the UAE reaction to the accusation?

2.If true, would it affect future EK plans for direct flights from DXB to the US?

:confused:

Why is that surprising to you?
And the reaction of the UAE government is to deny it, of course. Why would they deny it if it is true.

This terrible terrible sad terrorist action must have a deep affect on EK plans. The world is a different place after this! EK want to turn Dubai into a tourist attraction. I don't think too many people will be traveling to the gulf anytime soon other than other arab tourists.
Imagine, 4700 dead until now! this will not be forgotten anytime soon. So many peolpe and good honest middeleastern companies will be hit hard, because some dumb jerk wants war with the US.

Those Gulf States have to choose which side they are on, and although UAE is firmly on the US side, NOW is the time to be more open about it. That way it will be over sooner and EK's expansion will be back on track.
