Controversy Before Mohammad bin Zayed Visit
The article concerns discussions about expanding takeoff and landing rights for Emirates Airline at German airports, particularly at Berlin-Brandenburg Airport. Armand Thurn, Vice President of the Social Democratic Party's parliamentary group, opposes this expansion, warning that increased transportation rights could lead to the transfer of traffic and value-added activities outside Germany, thereby putting pressure on important German airports and airlines. This comes in conjunction with an upcoming visit by the Emirati President, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, to Germany, where he is scheduled to meet with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to discuss air transport rights. Meanwhile, Lufthansa, Emirates' main competitor, refuses to grant the latter additional licenses, emphasizing that Germany needs a strong airline sector capable of fair competition, with adherence to working conditions and wages.
