On the sidelines of the 2021 Dubai Airshow, AirInsight talks to some of the region’s low-cost airlines on the recovery from the Covid-crisis, the market situation, their strategy, and fleet plans. While Emirates certainly is not a low-cost airline, it has had a four-year partnership with flydubai. How has Emirates benefitted from this? Today, we talk to Adnan Kazim, the Chief Commercial Officer of Emirates. We also discuss its sustainability policy as it seems to keep a much smaller profile than its UAE companion Etihad.
