Qantas ‘has had a torrid time’: Emirates Airlines President

Emirates Airlines President Sir Tim Clark discusses being a partner with Qantas despite the “torrid time” the Australian airline has experienced in recent years. Sir Clark pointed out the COVID-19 pandemic was a disruptor which the global economy had “never seen” before. “Qantas was not immune from the effects of that and what happened – happened,” he told Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood. “When you look at the pace at which Australia opened up post COVID it bore no resemblance to what the rest of the world was doing. “I thought at the time that Alan (Joyce) was doing quite a good job – the Qantas brand is so important to Australians.”
