The president of Emirates Airlines<\/a>, Sir Tim Clark has written an op-ed on Fox News in the United States, rejecting US airlines’ claims of Emirates violating Open Skies agreements.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The op-ed was in response to a piece published previously, written by the former US Secretary of Transportation, James H Burnley.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Clark hit back at the US airlines’ withdrawal from the Open Skies trade agreement, citing statistics that include Emirates supporting more than 104,000 jobs in America, and contributing US$21.3 billion to the US economy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The relationship between Gulf carriers and US airline has become increasingly volatile\u00a0<\/h3>\n

With United States carriers accusing Gulf airlines of receiving government subsidies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However Gulf carriers have declared the accusations untrue, with Clark mentioning the accusations and calling them ‘baseless’.<\/p>\n

Clark quoted the ‘Big 3′ airlines’ (American, Delta and United Airlines) claims, and broke them down.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We have been very clear about the fact that Emirates competes on a commercial basis and does not receive subsidies. Mr. Burnley\u2019s article referred to the Big 3\u2019s self-published and inaccurate report on the finances of Emirates and other competitors without mentioning the 210-page report<\/a> we submitted to the U.S. government, which completely debunks the Big 3\u2019s baseless claim<\/p>\n

President of Emirates, Sir Tim Clark (shared via op-ed on Fox News) <\/cite>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Clark points out that the statistics ‘simply don’t support the airlines’ claims<\/h3>\n

He wrote: \u00a0“Another point of misinformation \u2013 contrary to the Big 3\u2019s apocalyptic rhetoric, their balance sheets are flush. American, Delta and United ranked No. 1, 2 and 4 in terms of airline profitability last year.”<\/p>\n
