Emirates Airlines established with two rented PIA planes

[Flashback]

An interesting article, based on one of the chapter's in Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid's autobiography.

How Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed established Emirates Airline with two rented PIA planes

“In 1984, I invited the manager of an aviation company called Dnata in Dubai, Maurice Flanagan, to my office, to discuss with him a dream I always had. I wanted to establish an airline in Dubai.”

“He was an expert in this field. He made a team and provided me with a plan. The team suggested naming the airline Dubai air, but I said we should name it Emirates Airline and told them to put the UAE flag on the aircraft.”
