Aren't a lot of European airlines run by their governments? I remember AR in Argentina is owned by the government and their inflight magazine is very pro-government.

I don't think it's a big deal unless the ME3 start a bunch of 5th freedom flights from Europe and Asia. Then, the US3 might have a case.
