$100,000 for 2 tickets and for charity is okay.

@All: What can i expect from Etihad and from the Abu Dhabi airport?
I am flying from Abu Dhabi to Bangkok. Do you think i will see Dubai from the plane and from which side of the plane?

rexdmx · January 21st, 2008, 08:23 AM

heard there was a new private jet service...

Naz UK · January 21st, 2008, 08:30 AM

There are many new private jet services to be launched in both the UAE and the Gulf, for example, today's launch was... Grand Aviation Dubai.

ua_emirates · January 22nd, 2008, 05:42 PM

Bahrain Air is about to start flying to Beirut.

Naz UK · January 22nd, 2008, 06:06 PM

Correct...got a free flight with them next month!!!

DUBAI · January 22nd, 2008, 06:21 PM

Naz UK · January 22nd, 2008, 06:52 PM

It's not.

DUBAI · January 22nd, 2008, 07:33 PM

I don't get the question, if indeed it was a question.

DUBAI · January 22nd, 2008, 11:45 PM

Bahrain air is not the airline set to cause 'a stir'?

Naz UK · January 23rd, 2008, 06:43 AM

NOoo! The "third airline" i am referring to is a proposed (and quite probably well underway) third commerical airline for the UAE.

Omaro · January 23rd, 2008, 07:28 AM

Is it needed?! I heard many flights are running full quite often to various routes, but is it REALLY essential to have a 3rd airline?

Naz UK · January 23rd, 2008, 08:00 AM

Is it really essential to have a 190million passenger capacity for Dubai within the next 5 years?

Who knows.

The question is, why not?

Naz UK · January 23rd, 2008, 09:40 AM

I asked the question at the press conference during the Dubai air show and at best, the answer I got back was wishy-washy.

I doesn't seem feasable by any stretch of the imagination, that even in 10 years, Dubai will have an air passenger throughput of over 100million (let alone 190 million) passengers.

But then people are used to saying that Dubai's growth is unfeasable and somehow Dubai always seems to prove otherwise.

The questions above still remains.
It can`t be that i am the first forumer flying with Etihad and visiting the Abu Dhabi airport.

DUBAI · January 23rd, 2008, 02:32 PM

I told you it doesnt exist!

That's your answer right there.... the intangible "can-do" attitude of Dubai coupled with a general sense of confidence and success is what makes the impossible, possible, in Dubai

The only logical explenation I see for this, it would be to get more slots on destinations EK can't be given more.
