UAE’s Emirates, Etihad working more closely than ever | Aviation – Gulf News:
The head of Emirates airline said on Sunday that the carrier is working closely with Etihad Airways, and left the door open for further cooperation between the two in back office operations.
Tim Clark, president of Emirates, said that while it’s important each airline remains a separate entity, there are many areas including engine overhaul and supply chain where they can work together. Etihad and Emirates already cooperate in aviation security, as well as in maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) works.
“We have a closer working relationship with Etihad than we’ve ever had. Tony Douglas [Etihad’s chief executive officer] and I often have in-depth conversations about what we can do behind the scenes,” he said.
