US businesses defend Gulf airlines in subsidy row
A group of 28 businesses said the three US airlines were jeopardising millions of American jobs
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
A coalition of transportation and tourism businesses on Monday called on the US government to preserve aviation agreements with Gulf nations despite accusations of unfair trade by major US airlines.
Businesses, including courier service FedEx, budget air carrier JetBlue and hotel giant Wyndham, oppose calls from Delta, American Airlines and United to renegotiate Open Skies agreements with the UAE and other Gulf countries.
In a letter to members of Congress, a group of 28 businesses said on Monday the three US airlines were jeopardising millions of American jobs by seeking to restrict access to the US market for Gulf carriers.
The letter also was addressed to the US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, among other officials.
"We urge the administration to protect Open Skies by insisting that these claims be assessed on the merits and in the proper forum," the letter said.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
