For those who think running an airline is like selling cashewnuts, here is the latest from the Middle East.
Emirates, one of the world's largest and most recognizable airline, has announced a full year profit of just $237 million.
We're talking of an airline with 254 planes and another 234 on order.
This profit is smaller than even our small KCB or Equity bank, companies that are unknown outside this region.
Anyway, for those who have been telling airlines to 'buy' planes with cash, this profit is not even enough for a single dreamliner.
If Emirates was not receiving oil money or taking debt, they would need 200 years to achieve current their fleet.

High oil prices are hurting Emirates
Emirates airline just paid its biggest ever fuel bill, sending profits to the lowest level in a decade.
