This makes far too much sense - so what are the chances?

[fantom]

It makes very good sense but the chances are the square root of four-fifths of f-all.

[The Outlaw]

That would take an act from above, way above.

It would have made sense for about 10 years but I'd expect that pride and ego will get in the way of logic.

very interesting
would actually also explain why it has gone all quiet on the Terminator plans... or the rumors that he did a runner to the unmentionable....

Would ONLY make sense if they would merge the 2. Some egos will get hurt for sure, remember the Burj opening???

[keepitrealok]

or the rumors that he did a runner to the unmentionable....

Why don't you just go to HRDirect and have look and then you won't continue to propagate the rubbish like this?

[Plane and simple]

If they merge into one, would that make EK unmentionable as well?

[Un_Limited]

Guys, I believe that's fake news spread around fb from a single source!

Emirates president dismisses reports of merger talks with Etihad - Gulf Business

[slowjet]

A denial from the top is often a sure-fire indication that the opposite will occur.

.....so you're telling me there's a chance!!!!!!!

First there was Re-Imagining, now it's Re-Thinking

My guess the future is Re-Structuring or resizing..... wait that's also done so what's left !!!

[Airmann]

What about an airline owned by 3 or 4 different gulf countries? Wouldn't that make more sense. You could call it..... Gulf Air! But it would require self control over the egos.

One option is to redraw emirate boundaries to bring DWC under new combined owner.

[gtaflyer]

Perhaps add a few more lakes in a place called Al Ghadeer and a metro linking it would adopt DWC as the airport and turn it into a ninth emirates ...

[FlyEmirates777]

They did build DFW right on the boundary...and we have been reminded not to leave out the "Fort Worth" bit
