Lufthansa sees UAE ‘imbalance’

Announcing a big increase in its services to the UAE, Germany’s flagship airline, Lufthansa, complained of an “imbalance” in competition with Emirates for air travel between the two countries.

The two carriers have a long-standing rivalry stemming from the threat Emirates poses to Lufthansa’s market share on long-haul routes between India and North America, and between Europe and East Asia.

Lufthansa complained about the difference in handling fees in Dubai and unequal opportunities in the two markets, prompting a swift response from Emirates.
