Some of E4FC-member statements :
“When a subsidised Gulf carrier pushes competition off a route, 600 fewer Europeans have well-paying aviation jobs. That means that 600 European families are no longer contributing to the economy.“ |
With the largest aircraft available on the market, Emirates is collecting the passengers in Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich, Dusseldorf, Amsterdam, and Paris and flying them to Dubai. Etihad is complementing this approach by buying stakes in ailing European airlines and using them as feeders to its own hub. Air Berlin is a perfect example: as soon as Etihad took a stake in Air Berlin, the German airline canceled all direct flights to Asia and East Africa. At the end there was only one destination in that direction: Abu Dhabi. The Emirate wants to replace Frankfurt and Munich as hubs. (Lufthansa Docket submission)
The true extent of Gulf subsidisation will never be known because the ME3 airlines operate behind a thick veil of secrecy. |
E4FC is about :
The E4FC is calling on our individual nations and EU governing bodies to enforce international aviation rules, ensure competition is level, and end the Gulf subsidies.
