Emirates is not owned by the UAE government, the Dubai government does however have a stake in Emirates.
The UAE capital is Abu Dhabi city in the state of Abu Dhabi, Dubai is a member state of the UAE which has seven members.
Etihad is the national airline of the UAE, Emirates is an airline based in Dubai and operates independently of the UAE.
As I said earlier Dubai has no oil and it has to import the stuff from elsewhere at the current market rates.
