You may well be correct, however having been in Abu Dhabi and working closely with EY five years ago, I still don't think that if there is any assistance from the AD govt, it will be financial and not one that would impact on EY. It is my view, and only an opinion, is that EY would prefer to be a stand alone airline. They have the financial clout, why would they want to have any sort of merger with EK? Time will tell but I think EK is still financially sound.
