Emirates to deliver 'sledgehammer' response to US subsidy allegations
Add BT as a preferred sourceDubai
DUBAI carrier Emirates will deliver a "sledgehammer" response to a report compiled by US carriers accusing major Gulf airlines of receiving more than US$40 billion in unfair government subsidies, its president Tim Clark said on Tuesday. "Having read the report, you could drive a bulldozer through just about everything ... We will deal a sledgehammer to that report as far as Emirates and Dubai is concerned," Mr Clark said at a conference in Dubai.
He did not say when any formal response would be delivered, but the airline's CEO Ahmed Al Maktoum said it would be fair if it had two years to put together a reply since the US carriers took that long to produce their report.
