I can tell you what I thought in the second after Trump swore the oath. This Donald is able and also bans German airlines from US-American airports.
It hasn't happened yet. So let's discuss it again when it has become true.
Btw, do you have a list that contains the airlines and the airports which are concerned since this thursday?
PS: 'The Guardian' (London, UK) names a full list of 10 airports, but that list is partly misspelled and without the ICAO airport codes. So, this is the list, with ICAO airport codes:
1. OJAI Queen Alia airport
2. HECA Cairo International
3. LTBA Istanbul-Atatürk
4. OEJN Jeddah King Abdulaziz
5. OERK Riyadh airport
6. OKBK Kuwait
7. GMMN Casablanca Mohammed V airport, Morocco
8. OTBD Doha International
9. OMDB Dubai International (with a ban), and OMDW Al Maktoum without a ban?
10. OMAA Abu Dhabi International.Last edited by LH-B744; 2017-03-23, 22:48. Reason: We shouldn't expect experience, concerning US (foreign) policy!The German long haul is alive, 65 years and still kicking.

And constantly advanced, 744 and 748 /w upper and lower EICAS.

So. What happens if one of these codes appear in your fmc as a destination or an origin?!
That's a very good question. It concerns at least the following airlines: Air Canada, Air France, Air India, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, KLM, Lufthansa, Qantas,
et cetera et cetera.

Nobody questioned me until Schiphol where I was politely but firmly invited to closely examine the pattern on the wall in security ! Even then, after some questioning I was still allowed to continue with the knife in my hand baggage. This was however well before 9/11.If it 'ain't broken........ Don't try to mend it !

Before 9/11, True Lies was only a Schwarzenegger film. With a fast jet near an office in the... 41st floor. But still fiction. Before 9/11, I knew at least 6 or 7 independent international US Airlines. TWA, CO, US Airways, United, American, NorthWest, Braniff (747, completely in orange, long gone), let me think about it another 5 minutes and I reach 10..
Francis Underwood (Kevin Spacey) was also fiction. Until the beginning of this year, when reality surpassed fiction ...The German long haul is alive, 65 years and still kicking.

The UK has a longer list of airlines/airports, but the ME3 are not on it. So one possibility is that it's not just Trump, but more specifically, Trump protectionism in action. The ME3 have been hit hard by the travel ban, and now this just might kill them. I bet Delta and United aren't complaining anymore.
