Gulf airlines are grabbing US carriers' traffic: study
US airlines want govt to block Gulf carriers from adding new flights
Dallas
PERSIAN Gulf carriers expanding rapidly in the US are diverting passengers from Delta, American and United instead of attracting new travellers as they have said, according to a study by a group representing the US airlines.
The loss of those customers is a key argument of the US carriers in their claims that Emirates Airline, Qatar Airways Ltd, and Etihad Airways PJSC are using US$42 billion in government subsidies to compete unfairly. All three Gulf carriers have repeatedly denied the accusations.
