US airlines are only concerned with their narrow interests at the expense of consumers according to Emirates airlines
American Airlines Group announced fourth-quarter profit at $3.3 billion and its full-year net profit reached $7.6 billion in 2015.
Emirates says: "Contrary to the partnership's allegations that Emirates is 'costing American jobs', we have helped create and support US jobs through our flight services and our investment in US aerospace products.
Aviation experts Campbell-Hill Aviation Group have analysed the US jobs effect of Emirates' flights to the United States, and found that Emirates supports 3,975 US jobs per daily roundtrip service."

A senior aviation analyst also said that it is evident that while on the one hand, the US big three airlines make large profits borne out of their domestic market dominance, a market that no Middle East airline has access to, that they then complain that they are hurt by Gulf airline expansion in the US.
Emirates added: "It is astounding how the big three relentlessly churn out misleading data to support their pleas for protection against competition, completely disregarding consumer choice and the broader economy."
