The annual Emirates report is out, and the airline has reported an 82% drop in annual profits for 2016/2017 year – down to AED1.3 billion.
The airline, which has reported 29 consecutive years of profit, links the drop to the lower oil prices globally, along with difficult US airline policies, the UK’s vote to exit the European Union, and the rise of the US dollar.

And capacity of the airline increased by 7%.
