The Emirates Group major ancillaries are Emirates and DNATA. DNATA was formed in 1959 by the then Dubai government. It consisted of two employees whose primary responsibility was to provide ground services to airlines at the new Dubai International Airport (DNATA, 2014). The airport was officially opened in 1960 and incorporated the open-skies policy (The Emirates Group, 2014). The open-skies policy was an agreement that allowed airlines to eliminate government interference in commercial airline decision routes, capacity and pricing (Department of State, 2001). DNATA in the 1970’s expanded their airline ticketing offices and created the new specialized cargo division. The new cargo division helped the company’s cargo revenue to increase in the late 1970’s (DNATA, 2014). DNATA has continued to enjoy the success of their year to year revenue increases. The company has acquired other flight handling services and is currently among the largest travel management services in over five continents. The company is known around the world and are currently going above and beyond in 38 countries (DNATA, 2014) to meet their customer expectations.
Emirates airlines was formed in 1985 with an ambitious $10 million revenue generation in only five months (The Emirates Group, 2014). At the formation of the airline, the company did not own any aircrafts. An agreement was made with Pakistan International Airlines to lease their Boeing 737 and an Airbus 300 B4 (Hasan, 2013). The First flight departed Dubai International Airport on October 25, 1985 en route to Karachi, Pakistan. New destination agreements were signed in 1986. The airline started flight services to places like Egypt, Bangladesh, and Jordan. That same year, the airline reported losses...

United Airlines is one of the largest airlines in the United States and worldwide. Also, it is ranked as the oldest commercial airline that was founded by Walter Varney. United Airlines started as an Air Mail Service and then extended its services to be an Air Carrier. In 1927, William Boeing started his own airline, Boeing Air Transport, and started buying any other air mail companies, which included the Varney’s Air Mail Company. After a while, Boeing started manufacturing aircraft and parts, which allowed him to extend his company to a bigger organization. Also, within Boeing’s company, he bought several airports to expand his organization. In 1929, Boeing’s company has changed its name to be United Aircraft and Transport Corp. (UATC).

Since the Jet Age, airlines have been entering and existing the airline industry. Some have been in business since the very beginning. For example, United airlines was founded almost twenty-five years before the jet age took off, and due to an incredible amount of money that the airline had by being one of the first airlines predating the Jet Age, was able to buy new jets and assert itself as one of THE giants of air travel by the late 1950’s. But the introduction of new technology paved the way for issues regarding externalities, and production of these new technologies. ("Assessing the external environment - Responding to a changing external business environment - United Airlines | United Airlines case studies and information | The Times 100", n.d., p. 1) The beginning of the Jet Age offered an intense opportunity for new firms to open or expand, producing new products from jet engines to structural parts, from radar technology, to reclining seats. According to research done by the Air Transportation Action Group, “It has been estimated the airline industry supports a grand total of 29 million jobs” (Hanlon, 2007, p. 1). This statistic proves how dependent the world is on the airline industry, for jobs and travel, as well as r...

Dubai has long been known as the trading capital of the Middle East. However, trading isn’t the only profitable and growing industry in Dubai at the moment. Tourism, banking (UAE’s banking system well thought out and sophisticated), transportation, technology, and many others have all seen huge jumps in growth and profit over the years. Rapid growth and profits can be contributed to Dubai’s great infrastructure, and open and liberal economic policies. Other advantages Dubai has are its location, quality of life, and cost
