When Tim Clark arrived in Dubai in 1985 from then local goliath Gulf Air to help the airline’s founding fathers create Emirates, he was tasked with running the planning department.
Clark makes no secret of his love for the airline industry and how much pleasure he has had helping to create such a force in the market place.
However, he admits he is now “the wrong side of 60” and acknowledges that “within the next few years, changes will have to be made”, at the Emirates Airline helm.
