Delta Air Lines Plans to Halt Atlanta-Dubai Service
DeltaAir Lines says it will cancel its Atlanta-Dubai flight due to the difficulty of competing with the subsidized Gulf carriers. The flight, operated with a Boeing 777, will end Feb. 11, 2016. After that, Delta’s only non-stop flight to the Middle East will be a New York Kennedy-Tel Aviv flight, and the only U.S. carrier flight to Dubai will be United’s Washington Dulles-Dubai flight.

Subsidized by American gas consumers - sorry you did finally mention that UAL flies IAD -DXB
I can understand that US carriers don't like it since it limits their international revenue opportunities, but is it really that harmful? If the ME3 were flying within the US, their subsidies would distort our domestic market. Since they're only flying to and through the ME, the scope of distortion is limited.
One who has flown Delta's long flights in steerage class torture would welcome just a little more room in the seating area. The regional jet has more leg room (seat pitch) than the B 767-400ER I was on from London to Atlanta. More money solves everything!
Just as long as the American taxpayers DONT end up giving these airlines any money.
IF anybody is giving these airlines anything it is not the US government. It maybe their own governments, which I believe is the discussion.
I am talking about giving U.S. airlines money.
