Q&A: Dubai aviation president talks Open Skies Agreement, the future of Emirates and low-cost flights | The National:

"At the World Government Summit, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed, president of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, chairman and chief executive of Emirates airline and chairman of Dubai Airports, fielded questions from Richard Quest of CNN

Q: In relation to the Open Skies Agreement and talks of the US reopening the bilateral with the UAE and Qatar, do you think that the US’s three [major domestic airlines, American, Delta and United] will succeed?

A: The case is with the American government and we have not heard anything yet. We have had many people, companies and allies who supported our case and I think the US insisted on an open sky policy at the time. Maybe they were thinking we are too small and they would be able to win in this battle but here, today, we proved to the world that we are a well-recognised airline."
