Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline and Group noted: ?As the biggest operator at Dubai International, we also took the biggest hit to our bottom line from the 80-day runway upgrading works.

?However, we had anticipated it and made meticulous plans to minimise impact operationally and commercially for both Emirates and dnata.

The success of these plans can be seen in our overall growth during this six-month period in spite of the challenge.?
