Maybe not airline related? UPS and Dubai?

I'm not new here, but would they make any kind of an announcement about another visit to Omar's (ok, this time it's Fujisan's) Used Airplane lot?

Innovators and inventors? Not sure how an airplane announcement would be in any way relevant to those types of people. I'm guessing some sort of technology upgrade or research.

Emirate of Dubai is going to let UPS "test" delivery UAS and/or driverless feeders.

There was a rumor going around about UPS picking up Emirate's freighter fleet, as Emirates was rumored to be getting out of the cargo business...

Definitely not getting out of the freight business. In fact, it appears they want to fly stealth freighters.
