The Middle East aviation industry will continue to record strong growth in spite of the global economic slowdown and soaring oil prices, the chairman and CEO of Dubai-owned airline Emirates said on Monday.
'The global aviation industry is enjoying mixed fortunes at the moment - there is both positive and negative news. But here in Dubai we believe there is the potential for it to be all good news..." said Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, speaking at the opening of a trade show in Dubai.
"While we hear of airlines around the world cancelling back routes and postponing orders, in the Gulf we continue to see unrivalled growth. Although some routes may be affected, others are growing at a rapid pace." |
