Emirates Riding Growth Surge Sees Airline Able to Double in Size

Emirates, already channeling a significant proportion of long-haul airline passengers via Dubai, could “easily” double in size with enough airport capacity to support such an expansion, President Tim Clark said.

The No. 1 carrier by international traffic sees its fleet of about 230 planes increasing to between 280 and 300 by 2025 and up to 600 in later years, Clark said at the International Air Transport Association’s annual meeting in Miami Tuesday.
