Emirates Airline said any merger plan with Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Airways PJSC is for shareholders to decide and no such development is likely any time soon.

“That is in the hands of the shareholders,” Emirates President Tim Clark said in a Bloomberg Television interview Tuesday in Sydney. “On the short-term, medium-term horizon, I would say no.”
