The number was a big one, but for an operation the size of Emirates it looks like a poor performance.
This is poor performance indeed. With a trading profit margin of only 4%, whereas it should be 7 to 8% to (self) sustain such a growth, there is not much meat on the bone... There will be a lot of (expensive) external fund raising needed to keep the ship floating.
In the real world the management would have a hard time to explain such a performance to the stake holders and would, most probably, be replaced for under performing badly.
Once again shiny figures but if you dig a bit deeper, it doesn't look too good.
