UAE population 9.2 million.
Now, if you can find it, add in the current aircraft and orders for Qatar and Etiahd.

And the 3 ME carriers are getting access to 10 major US cities, and wanting more access, to more cities, each of which has much more population than the entire UAE.

While the 3 major US Carriers get access to....

Dubai.

That's a fair trade if I ever saw one!

Thanks Congress.
