The overall Emirates Group, owned by Dubai’s sovereign wealth fund known as the Investment Corporation of Dubai, saw annual profits of $5.6 billion, compared to $5.1 billion the year before. “Our excellent financial standing enables us to continue building on and scaling up from our successful business models,” said Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktom, Emirates’ chairman and chief executive.
“While some markets are jittery about trade and travel restrictions, volatility is not new in our industry,” he said. “We simply adapt and navigate around these challenges.” Emirates’ financial year runs from April 1 to March 31, including revenue from both 2024 and 2025. The carrier reported to have 260 aircraft and that it’s flying to 148 locations around the world, long relying on the Boeing 777 and the double-decker Airbus A380.

Emirates serves as a crucial link in East-West travel and is the crown jewel of what experts and diplomats refer to as “Dubai Inc.” – a series of interconnected companies overseen by the sheikhdom’s ruling Al Maktoum family.

The world’s busiest airport for international travelers had a record 92.3 million passengers pass through its terminals in 2024.

However, the city is now grappling with increasing traffic and costs pressuring both its Emirati citizens and the foreign residents who power its economy.

In its report on Thursday, Emirates said it had repaid $3.6 billion of that loan.
