Subsidized Expansion by Qatar, Etihad, and Emirates Threatens U.S. Airline Jobs

These subsidies are in violation of Open Skies policy
Over the last decade alone, Qatar, Etihad, and Emirates have received more than $42 billion in subsidies and other unfair benefits from the governments of Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, according to well-respected forensic accounting firms. The three carriers’ routes to the U.S. have not meaningfully increased passenger traffic; they only serve to displace U.S. airline market share and offshore good U.S. aviation jobs. Every lost international route by U.S. carriers means hundreds of U.S. aviation jobs are lost or offshored.
