Sir Tim Clark has been named “Aviation and Transport Business Leader of the Year” at the Gulf Business Awards 2018,
held last night in Dubai. The regional accolade recognised Sir Tim for his contribution to the aviation sector over the past 12 months, as well as his dedication and sustained commitment to building an outstanding track record of financial performance, innovation and a superior customer experience.
Covering a wide range of sectors and industries, the Gulf Business Awards attracts leaders within the region’s business community. Awards are presented based on public votes as well as highly competitive judging criteria.
Sir Tim was part of the airline’s founding team, and has played a vital role in the development and growth of Emirates to become the world’s largest international airline, recording 289 million passenger kilometres in 2017.

Over the last 12 months, Emirates has continued its commitment to improving the customer experience through significant enhancements to its Boeing 777 and A380 aircraft, introducing its game-changing Boeing 777-300ER First Class private suites and a new Business Class cabin and configuration on its Boeing 777-200LR aircraft. On the A380, the newly enhanced Onboard Lounge continues to delight customers with its modern finishes and more seating options.
Emirates also continues to provide customers across all classes a plethora of entertainment options with more than 3,500 channels in over 40 languages through its in-flight entertainment system, ice.
