This week, MME sits down with the CEO of Etihad, James Hogan, at the Farnborough International Air Show to discuss the airline's future expansion plans and competition in the aviation industry in the region.

Marketplace Middle East takes a look at one of the most controversial projects under France's Presidency of the EU.
