Ok, so a guy from Jordan bought real estate and a house and he is renting/leasing it to a company owned by Dubai who pays the rent in order to provide free housing to an employee of EK.

And as pointed out some days already, EK is quite famous for having a lot of official and inofficial 'affiliates' paying for certain services that may or may not be part of the EK books.

The major difference now, but not 30 years ago, these inofficial companies do not exist for LH or other European carriers anymore, hence their business transactions are very transparent.

The 'thin' annual report EK is publishing leaves a lot of open questions...
