His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group, attributed the record results to the organization’s business model and Dubai’s growth trajectory: “The Group has surpassed its record performance of last year to deliver a fantastic result for the first half of 2024-25."

This financial year marks the first application of UAE corporate income tax on the Emirates Group, resulting in an after-tax profit of AED 9.3 billion (USD $2.5 billion). Despite this new tax charge, the group maintained strong operating profitability with an EBITDA of AED $20.4 billion ($5.6 billion).

Emirates continued expanding its network during this period, increasing scheduled flights to eight cities and launching new routes such as daily services to Bogotá via Miami.

In terms of environmental initiatives, Emirates uplifted sustainable aviation fuel for the first time in Singapore and London Heathrow during this period.

Emirates SkyCargo saw significant growth, transporting over one million tonnes in six months—a rise fueled by increased Chinese eCommerce traffic—and placed orders for additional Boeing freighters.

dnata also showed substantial progress with strategic investments including expansion into Raleigh-Durham International airport in the USA and plans for increased cargo handling capacity in Zurich.

Despite facing challenges like rising supply costs affecting dnata's catering operations, both Emirates airline and dnata continue recruitment drives to support future requirements.
