Emirates named CAPA Airline of the Year for 2005
Emirates has capped a highly successful year in which it recorded strong profit growth amid a rapid expansion of its international network by winning the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation’s (CAPA) Airline of the Year Award for 2005.
At a gala dinner attended by 200 guests at Menara Tower, Kuala Lumpur tonight, Emirates was named by The Centre as the airline having the greatest impact on the development of Asia Pacific aviation in 2005.
The award was presented by The Centre’s Executive Chairman, Peter Harbison, to Emirates’ Senior Vice President Commercial Operations East Asia and Australasia, Richard Vaughan.
Mr Harbison had earlier delivered the aviation outlook address at the Asia Pacific & Middle East Aviation Outlook Summit 2006 at The Westin, Kuala Lumpur. The summit, with 350 delegates and media in attendance, continues tomorrow.
“Emirates’ achievements in the past year have been extraordinary, as one of the most profitable and fastest growing airlines in the world. Emirates’ influence on competitor airline strategy continues to increase, as it aggressively enters new markets and expands others and demonstrates leadership in high quality passenger service. Emirates is at the forefront of the Middle East region’s spectacular rise as a global aviation powerhouse. The region’s momentum will continue to build as Emirates takes delivery of over 130 new aircraft currently on order. The CAPA Airline of the Year for 2005 is certain to have a lasting and irreversible impact on the evolution of the worldwide aviation and tourism industries”, said Mr Harbison.
