The current update on Syria has left the world puzzled as the government of Syria is imprisoning all those doctors who are trying to cure the wounded protesters.Secret Hospitals have been formed by activists to treat the wounded.These hospitals use empty coke cans as equipment. The secret hideout hospitals are still operating and there are several doctors who are risking their lives to save other people’s lives. Ramita Navai,a reporter reported that all hospital equipments were kept at a place away from the secret hospitals, so as when raids happened,the equipment could be saved.It was also reported that the wounded protesters were captured by the government and were tortured and killed eventually.

Some military personnel were removed from the military as they refused to kill innocent people.This incident is rather shocking.However, the Syrian Government denies all the claims/allegations of ill treating protesters on them and refuses to agree to anything said by the media.

Emirates- a well known United Arab Emirates based airline company,recently voted as the best airline company is now looking to expand its flying routes to more places in the United States.This seems like a strategy as they are expanding far and wide and as said in the article-they are willing to land a plane anywhere which has passengers and a runway for a jumbo jet to land. Competing airlines such as Delta,United and American do not support this strategy of Emirates as it poses as a threat to the american airline industries.

Emirates has lately ordered 150 Boeing 777X jumbo for 56billion dollars, the largest purchase made in terms of cost in the history of aviation.Emirates Airlines’ president Tim Clark said that they would have bought 50-60 more Airbus a380’s if their engines were newer and more fuel efficient.Emirates also plans to have more flights going to different places that do not connect through Dubai creating a wider network of travel.Many airline companies have accused Emirates of competing unfairly but Emirates has rejected all the accusations and continues with the same strategy.It will be interesting to see how the American Airline carriers react to this strategy formulated by Emirates,and if Emirates is actually successful in implementing it.

Agreeing with David Cojocar’s post, I feel that Boeing recently made a comeback in the airline industry after the production of the 787-Dreamliner.All the Boeing Dreamliners were called back for repair by the American based company due to the faulty production of the Rolls-Royce engines.RyanAir’s recent investment in the new fuel efficient and stylish Boeing 737 has brought Boeing right back on the top.RyanAir recently ordered  100 new 737 MAX 200 aircraft and they are expected to order 100 more making it the second largest order of airplanes after Indigo Airlines.RyanAir plans to “change the game” in the low cost airline sector as the airline plans to add 8 additional seats to its existing seat capacity.

However,I disagree with David on one point.I feel that the US Government cannot or will not bail out Boeing as Boeing is the only major American based Aerospace company.Even though Boeing had its downfalls,Boeing can never go out of business as it is the biggest competitor of Airbus and people still have faith in the airplanes manufactured by Boeing.Thus to prevent the airline industry from becoming a monopoly,Boeing must continue business.
