Im quite sure that management behind me will consider all options, said Clark, who has run the carrier since 2003. He described reports that the ruling families of the United Arab Emirates who own Emirates and Abu Dhabi-based competitor Etihad Airways PJSC are discussing a merger as nonsense.

Younus said that work is currently under way on Route 2020, a 15km-long extension of Dubai metro that links Al Maktoum International Airport and Dubai Expo 2020 site with the Red Line at Nakheel Harbour and Towers station.
He said construction has begun at the site of Expo 2020 and will continue to move towards Red Line as per the schedule. Operations on the extended line is expected to begin in April 2020.
The work is progressing according to the plan. We have achieved certain milestones and the programme is going according to schedule and hopefully we will complete the project ahead of time, said Younus.
The contract for the Dh10.6-billion project was awarded to Expolink, a consortium of French, Spanish and Turkish firms, in June and the foundation stone was laid in September last year.
