Given the worries at Airbus, and if the success story of Emirates (partly owned by Dubai govt) is anything to go by, then perhaps EADS could surely use such expertise/business accumen today.<BR/><BR/>This is a HUGE step for the Dubai government, from a global business exposure and perhaps from a synergy perspective too?<BR/><BR/>As for Boeing's feelings - well perhaps everything is fair in love & war/businesses :)<BR/><BR/>It's quite amazing the level of clarity via which Dubai govt (be it the DP world issue) operates. They do not seem to mix anything (i.e. religious or political/regional issues) with business, except brilliant business accumen? Perhaps other ME countries (read Iran) could use the similar "accumen"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-1164790359121832282006-11-29T12:52:00.000+04:002006-11-29T12:52:00.000+04:00Wow - and after publically denying that they woul...Wow - and after publically <A HREF="http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/boeingaerospace/2003382392_webeads09.html" REL="nofollow">denying</A> that they would do this.<BR/><BR/>I wonder how Boeing's going to feel, given their investments into <A HREF="http://www.boeing.com/news/frontiers/archive/2004/december/mainfeature2.html" REL="nofollow">Dubai</A> and the <A HREF="http://archive.gulfnews.com/articles/06/11/03/10079522.html" REL="nofollow">UAE</A>?nzmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03160346268566279764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-1164782894003876192006-11-29T10:48:00.000+04:002006-11-29T10:48:00.000+04:00There might be objections from the EU since the Du...There might be objections from the EU since the Dubai govt holds a majority stake in Emirates as well.Wokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506371136332079076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-1164780115335514092006-11-29T10:01:00.000+04:002006-11-29T10:01:00.000+04:00Way to go for the UAE.
