Airlines
Emirates Denies Being Hit By Pilot Shortage
Dubai-based airline says seasonal issues account for it parking many aircraft, rather than pilots being lured to luctative contracts in China.

Several rumors have been circulating in the international press that Emirates has been parking aircraft in Dubai due to a pilot exodus in favor of Chinese airlines offering superior pay and terms. While AIN has been able to ascertain that at least 14 aircraft, including Boeing 777-300s and Airbus 380-800s, have been parked at Al-Maktoum International Airport of late, the true reasons for this are unclear.
