Aviation giant Emirates said Thursday it expects business to grow next year despite the surge in global coronavirus cases fuelled by the Omicron variant.
The Dubai-based carrier said in November it was already on the path to recovery as six-month losses dropped by more than half from a year earlier.
“Despite the recent rise of the Omicron variant and the slight slowdown it brought to our network, we are going into 2022 with optimism,” said Emirates CEO Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum.
“We’ve built up some great momentum this year and expect business growth to pick up speed in 2022,” he said in a company statement.—AFP
