The move comes following concern over the carrier’s strategy and investments in Europe, in particular at Air Berlin and Alitalia. Job losses are expected at the Abu Dhabi carrier. You can read the carrier’s press statement here.

When you have the cash flow in abundance to acquire, stop to think what will be the repercussion backlash? Should have done more for the carrier with what’s available.
It was a wrong move from inception! Time to move on.
