Dubai Airport Traffic Slows as Oil Slump Hits Emirates
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...-hurt-emirates
Dubai International Airport said passenger growth slowed by a third last year as economies faltered and the lower oil price clipped Mideast travel, while warning that the current 12 months could see the most sluggish expansion in a decade.
The world’s busiest hub for cross-border flights boosted customer numbers 7.2 percent to 83.6 million in 2016, retreating from a 10.7 percent advance in 2015, owner Dubai Airports said in an e-mailed statement.

DALLAS (AP) — Leaders of the three biggest U.S. airlines are seeking to meet with new Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to revive their stalled complaint that rivals from the Middle East are getting unfair government subsidies.
The issue took on new urgency last month when one of the fast-growing Middle Eastern carriers, Emirates, announced plans to begin a new route between Athens, Greece, and Newark, New Jersey, just outside New York City. Such flights would entirely bypass Emirates' home nation, the United Arab Emirates.

"Air France, Spain's Iberia and Germany's Lufthansa also followed suit after the federal judge's ruling, which the White House said it planned to appeal as soon as possible."
