(MENAFN) Qatar Airways (QA), in a 'white paper' submitted to the US, has refuted the subsidy allegations against it by the 'Big 3' US carriers.
The submission addressed and answered all issues raised in the Open Skies debate, which has put into question the long-standing US policy of allowing carriers to fly to and from the country with minimal government interference.
The Big 3, American, Delta and United (and their unions), have been pressing the US government to depart from its pro-Open Skies stance and impose unilateral limits on services operated by Gulf airlines.
Although the US Open Skies policy was designed by the government to ensure that US carriers were free to operate their extensive networks without foreign government restrictions on the level and routings of their services, QA said.
