Emirates carries 58m passengers in 2019 as capacity shrinks
Emirates airline carried around 58m passengers in 2019, down 1m (or 1.7%) from 2018 when it carried 59m passengers, as operations shrunk. The airline said Tuesday it operated over 3,500 flights on average per week, or over 186,000 flights in 2019. This is down from the nearly 3,700 flights a week in 2018 (or a total of 192,000 flights in the year) as Emirates had to cut down operations during the 45-day closure of one of the two runways at Dubai International. Emirates said 2019 was “a year of recalibration” in terms of its fleet and network plans. In February, Emirates cut its order for Airbus’ A380 aircraft, forcing the manufacturer to end the production of A380s altogether. <br/>
