Aviation: Emirates will not fly to Berlin for the time being

Emirates will not initially add Berlin as a fifth German airport to its route network. The airline's CEO, Tim Clark, stated that they will not fly to Berlin for now, citing differing interpretations of an agreement between the UAE and Germany. Emirates currently operates at four German airports with no restrictions on frequency, but wants to add Berlin and Stuttgart to its schedule. The airline had been expected to utilize new traffic rights to fly to Berlin, but must first clarify the agreement's terms.
