Emirates president expecting rapid recovery following Middle East conflict

Emirates president Tim Clark, speaking at the CAPA Airline Leader Summit - Airlines in Transition, stated (23-Apr-2026) the airline expects to return to normal operations rapidly, once the conflict in the Middle East stabilises. Sir Tim said: "We will get back to where we were in February fairly soon". He said he expects Emirates and Dubai to recover, "if your product and your brand is as strong as ours is and will continue to be, and as long as Dubai remains a city of enormous attraction for all sorts of people".
