He said the revised order issued this week offered more clarity, and there had been some positive movement in bookings on the Emirates network but not a full recovery. “When will it recapture the original booking curve is anyone’s guess,” he said. Clark said he hoped for an improvement in the summer following the usually quiet period during Ramadan. <br/>
