MIRACLES HAPPEN AT MEBAA TOO!

This corporate conflict could have turned into a real war. Both sides appealed to BLACKLIST.AERO However, based on the circumstances of the conflict, we could not support either side.

However, what BLACKLIST.AERO could have helped both sides find common ground and understand that VALUES are more important than corporate conflict.

Yes, BLACKLIST.AERO is, first and foremost, about values, not interests. And I am grateful to Ahmad Badreddine and Manav Chopra for sharing these values.

The conflict is over, and I hope AeroControl Group and REDWINGS AVIATION SERVICES will have fruitful cooperation in the future. Please congratulate both companies on this wise decision.
