Emirates rubbishes reports on Etihad merger
DUBAI, March 13, 2017
Dubai's Emirates airline has dismissed reports of a possible merger with UAE national carrier Etihad Airways, said a Wam news agency report.
The rebuttal comes after media reports claimed that the two Gulf carriers were in talks for a super-sized airline.
"There is no truth to the report Emirates and Etihad are considering a merger or have been in talks for the same," an Emirates Airline spokesperson said in a statement.
