Emirates looking to take over Etihad [Rumour Denied]

Just read this and wondered what people thought about it. That would be a massive airline...

Previous threads, incl denials:

Etihad-Emirates tie-up rumour denied by EK's Clark & Etihad
Emirates chief open to working closely with Etihad

Don't think it'll happen anytime soon, rumour doesn't seem very substantiated

Both airlines have now denied that any talks are taking place. Mods, time to close?

Other than planes, what assets might interest EK? Slots at AUH won't be too important once DWC comes online.

Edit: Nvm, doesn't matter seeing as it's not happening!

EY's price isn't totally through the floor just yet. Give it a few years.
