The Announcement May 9th

Last year:

"The group's profit target for this financial year ending 31st March 2013 is Dhs3.5 billion. What can we do to achieve it?"

Six months ago, after making 2.1bn profit:

"I'm extremely pleased with the financial results and with your achievements these past six months. If we keep up the momentum, I have no doubt that we can reap rich dividends at the end of the financial year."

Shouldn't we all be expecting a rich dividend then?

Mr Good Cat "Stevens"

It's "Just Another Night", now "Morning Has Broken", we're "On The Road To Find Out". Just find "Where Do The Children Play?". It's a "Wild World", but "If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out".

Me, "I'm Gonna Get Me A Gun" and travel on "The Wind" in the "Peace Train".

I thank you, Taxi

Emirates Airline to announce operating results on Thursday, says Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed

May 8, 2013 - 01:30 -
WAM DUBAI: Emirates Airline will announce its operating results for the financial year 2012/2013 (April 2012 to March 2013 ) this Thursday noting that the carrier's profits have registered good year-on-year growth.

Sheikh Ahmed said the results are much better than last year, in terms of revenues and profits and noted that improved performance of carriers is attributed to seat capacity growth.

He said that Emirates was able to achieve the good results despite the increasing fuel prices.

He also noted that the carrier invested some AED500 million on its cargo center at the new Al Maktoum International Airport which will be operational after 18 months as Emirates plans to move all of its freight operations to the bigger airport in the future.

I see we have gone from "reaping rich dividends" to "posting good results". Ah well, all be revealed tomorrow.

Here's my prediction; 3.1B profit. No profit share, no pay rise, no step.

At least I'm setting myself up for a pleasant surprise if it's better than that.

Better than all the cabin crew who still think it's going to be the best profit share ever. There's gonna be a lot of disappointed campers out there.

The question we have to ask is...why has EK all of a sudden become a loss making juggernaut? (in the last few months)

Quote Oil Prices

The old chestnut about how tough it is with such high oil prices cutting into profits, don't they realise we can look at the average price of any oil stock over the last year and see the price trend for ourselves?

Quoted form above
"He said that Emirates was able to achieve the good results despite the increasing fuel prices."

For example lets take a look here>>>

Sheikhthedripsoff,

You might be right on most counts, although a hope your not. 3% step at a minimum is my hope... I do think the profit will be over 4 billion drm. Should be interesting.

It's all about managing expectations!!! Personally I don't have a clue. That's the way EK wants it. We just have wait and hear.

Lads,

Does anyone know around what time the announcement is to be made? Late morning... Afternoon ... 5pm ?

I'm not sure what time they've announced in years gone by. My memory is ****e after 18 years of night flights.
