Emirates, Etihad and Qatar have slowed their expansion, even as
debate over the carriers within the U.S. has heated up in the first few weeks of the Trump administration....

carrier that has the legal obligation to serve everyone» or (2) «the taken property must be used by the government as a means of benefiting the public, even if the government benefits the public by selling the property to a private property owner.»
