Emirates, Dubai the great airline, said Wednesday it carried 51.3 million passengers this year, an increase of 9% compared to 2014.
In a statement, the president of Emirates, Tim Clark, spoke of “significant growth” in 2015, despite including “turbulence” linked to regional conflicts and a business climate “shaky” in many markets.
In 2015, Emirates has added 26 new aircraft to its fleet, including 15 A380s, 10 Boeing 777-300ERs and one Boeing 777 Freighter, ending the year with a total of 246 aircraft in service.
