Quite interesting..let's look about the place you call Dubai, India: https://www.google.fi/maps/place/Dubai,+Uttar+Pradesh+209867,+India/@26.3176209,80.7377053,432m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x399c775c61005a77:0xe76d2a284ebae1ac

I'm not quite sure that they have own airlines there...But if we are speaking about the Dubai, the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates, it would make some sense..

The death toll is up to 62 now. One of the Indians must've had a bun in the oven

[Walter Sobchak]

Wouldn't bother me if it were 620,000,000 of them....
