WASHINGTON—The United States reached a deal with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to resolve a three-year dispute over unfair competition by airlines Etihad and Emirates.

The agreement announced on May 14 will end the UAE’s unfair subsidization of its two major airlines and level the playing field for American carriers.
