- Emirates Airlines President Sir Tim Clark discusses opportunities for growth in Australia and the increasing international demand for flights to the nation.
“We have got to look 10 or 15 years out, not at tomorrow,” he told Sky News Australia.
“We have to look at what Australia is doing and how popular it is for all the segments of the travelling public we have ... all the bits and pieces that go to make up the mix of people in our cabins and there is enough for all.
“I think as Qantas restores its operations outside Australia using these kinds of jets, it is mutually beneficial to everyone.”
Sir Tim Clark sat down with Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood to discuss plans to double down on premium economy, how Qantas made it through the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential of nuclear for the future.
You want me to drive electric car how about you tell people to row a boat or sail if they want to travel the world
I’ve never heard such utter propagandistic bollocks from any CEO. So “it happened to” Qantas!?! The current Qantas CEO literally did the dirties herself mate!! Ridiculous.
Flights out... Not in.
Just a note, Emirates made 40billion on their ancillary businesses, apart from flying last year, who would think air miles were so valuable?
Ancillary isn't just related to miles. In Emirates case their ancillary comes from seat payments (exit row seats cost up to AUD250 per person *50 seats, forward seats and certain offers are in excess of AUD30). Emirates sells access to their lounges for about AUD100. Excess baggage purchases are another ancillary. From a points perspective, they charge ridiculous fees to use points in comparison to purchasing a revenue ticket.
Yes, the seat charging is particularly annoying, first came across that with Air Asia.@@AleksFolk1
Demand for flights to Australia to claim asylum
Do the flyers leave again later?
Asking the emirates ceo a Dubai based airline if they would fly Sydney to London non stop, what a stupid question lol
True that! They would be crazy to take airport business away from their home base. Travellers via and into Dubai are money for Emirates as well.
Sydney to London in Economy.Non stop . What idiot would fly that?.
😮 who would go to stabby London
People like me. People that missed out because of the pandemic and had to start all over again. I was three days away from booking my ticket when the world went anal. Had I been stuck there I would have come home with the benefit of speaking three languages...
Bad enough with having a stop midway.
@@stevewiles7132 One day soon we're all going to do it hard again...
But the Albo govt will not allow any more flights!
more flights for Brisbane plz. We always miss out to Sydney, Melbourne & Perth
They making the second daily flight an a380 in Brisbane dw
The demand for Sydney and Melbourne is not driven just by locals, but internationals wanting to visit those cities.
@@AleksFolk1 a lot of internationals also go to Brisbane. We are the gateway to Queensland, inlcuding the whitsundays, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Fraser Coast and even Far North QLD
@@electro_sykes the demand hasn’t been there as much as it has for the other locations where they’ve increased capacity to date. Also Sydney has direct flights to some of those, so can act as a gateway in that regard to Gold Coast, Cairns Townsville, Hamilton Island - all with direct flights. Sydney alone has a population larger than QLD combined according to latest data, business and corporate HQs are also mostly located in greater Sydney. Hence there will always be more demand for flights to/from Sydney over Brisbane.
@@AleksFolk1 true but the olympics are coming to Brisbane. In the past it was only locals going overseas on the flights, but not many tourists, but now things are different. We were promised direct to chicago but now we miss out to sydney. We have a very underused international terminal here
Yeah, the Labor open border policy is working overtime 😂😂😂
Torrid time? Alan doing a good job? New team? This guy’s sucking up to an alliance partner.
