Plaintiff failed to show that Defendant is domiciled in New York so as to confer general personal jurisdiction. Defendant is headquartered and has its principal place of business in Dubai, UAE, and it operates flights internationally serving 156 airports in 84 countries. Although Defendant has an office in New York County, it cannot be said that it is 'at home' in New York. In addition, its registration to do business in New York does not constitute consent to submit to general jurisdiction in New York for causes of action that are unrelated to its affiliation with New York.
