Why are bilateral seat rights considered an inter-governmental issue according to the Emirates President

The President of Emirates Airlines has stated that bilateral seat rights are a matter that involves the cooperation and negotiations between governments.
  • Bilateral seat rights refer to the agreement between two countries that governs the number of flights and seats airlines from each country can operate on a particular route.
  • The allocation of these rights directly impacts the market competition and access to routes for airlines from both countries.
  • As these agreements are made at the government level, they require cooperation and negotiations with the involved parties to ensure fairness and satisfaction for all stakeholders.
  • The President of Emirates Airlines sees bilateral seat rights as an inter-governmental issue because these agreements have significant implications on the aviation industry, trade relationships, and overall economic ties between countries.
  • Therefore, it is imperative for governments to be directly involved in the decision-making process concerning bilateral seat rights to protect the interests of their respective countries.
