Emirates President: Air Travel Booming Despite Tariff Uncertainty

Emirates President Tim Clark discusses the effect of tariffs on air travel demand in an interview with Bloomberg News. He states that despite uncertainties surrounding tariffs, the market has shown remarkable resilience, recovering strongly from the COVID-19 pandemic. 'Flights are all booked full, in fact booked through to the winter,' Clark confirms, highlighting the robust demand. However, he acknowledges the existence of 'problem areas' in North America and the North Atlantic, where tariff fluctuations create uncertainty. Despite this, Clark notes that businesses are 'keeping their powder dry' and that this hasn't stopped people from spending. 'They're still spending in the way that they were,' he says, indicating a positive outlook for the industry.
