Actually, that is not so. Emirates did not make money when they ran SriLankan. But because they had a ground handling monopoly, a catering monopoly, and fuel priced at market rates, they were able to break even at group level and make a small profit some years. But at air transport level, Emirates lost money every year that they ran SriLankan."There are a lot of allegations that this guy made money, that guy made money. When you lease an aircraft from one of the big leasing companies, and we deal with the world’s biggest leasing companies, there’s no money to be made. They’re not going to pay you anything. They might take you to dinner but that’s about it. That’s all you’re going to get.""There are a lot of numbers around. You pick what you wish. But let me tell you this. That number that we paid was less than what we would have lost in the first year of operation if we had to accept those aircraft.(A350)</blockquote>
