Flying Air Emirates isn't Kosher
Here's a remarkable account of a gentleman (a Jew) who is flying Air Emirates, an Arabic airline, and asked for a kosher meal:
[I] was told that Emirates has a policy of refusing to accept requests for meals that meet Jewish religious requirements.
I was also told that Emirates is "an Arab airline, so we don’t really expect Jews to use us".
I was also told that Emirates is "an Arab airline, so we don’t really expect Jews to use us".
The incongruance of a backwards mentality matched up with a modern business. What if the roles has been reversed: If El Al refused to serve a meal to an Arab family? You betcha they'd be in the wrong.

I rang Emirate office in London and told them that I am about to book a flight to Shanghai via Dubai
I asked if they had Kosher food I was informed that they did.
Now when I checked in at the London airport just to make sure that all was in place. I asked I was informed that not only have not got my Kosher meal. THEY DO NOT OFFER IN as an option.
