Emirates plans big expansion in US
[CHICAGO] Emirates Airline, the largest international carrier, is planning an expansion that would make the US market one of its three largest sources of revenue, said Tim Clark, president of the Dubai-based carrier.
Although the US now drives just 7 per cent of Emirates' sales, the region is "hugely important" to the carrier, Mr Clark told the World Routes Strategy Summit in Chicago.
The airline is scouting new cities to add to its network after beginning service last month in Chicago, the carrier's ninth US destination.
