Emirates to resume flights to 9 destinations from May 21
Emirates Airline on Wednesday (May 13) said it is resuming passenger flights to nine destinations from May 21.
The announcement came after the airline reported a 6% drop in revenue to 92 billion dirhams ($25.1 billion) for the 12-month period ending March 31, attributing it to the planned 45-day Dubai International Airport runway closure and temporary suspension of passenger flights in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The airline still reported a rise of 21% in profit to 1.1 billion dirhams ($288 million).
As a Group, Emirates’ profit plummeted 28% year-on-year to 1.7 billion dirhams ($456 million) as revenue dropped by 5% to 104 billion dirhams.
