It is probably part of the Dubai Air Wing anyway in all but name but they want to keep up some pretense that it is not because it really belongs to EK on paper. The external colour scheme seems to me to be closer to the Air Wing than it is to EK. A short while ago I tried to get a quote to use it for a family trip to Kiev and never got a response ... I would be interested to hear if anyone outside of the "inner circle" can actually hire it.
