Emirates airline president Clark to step down in June

Long-serving Emirates airline president Tim Clark is to retire at the end of June 2020. News that Clark is to step down from the role next summer first emerged following reports of an internal announcement, which added Clark will remain as an advisor to the airline. A founder member of the Emirates management team in 1985 and appointed president in 2003, Clark has steered the Dubai carrier to become one of the largest global operators. The latest Airline Business World Airline Rankings show Emirates was the seventh largest airline group the 2018/19 financial year with revenues of US$29.7b, and fourth biggest group in the world in terms of traffic. How to fill the shoes of such a central CE has been a long-standing question for Emirates. <br/>
