'Calculated risk' to start flying again, says Emirates CEO - Arabianbusiness

'Calculated risk' to start flying again, says Emirates CEO - Arabianbusiness:

The CEO and chairman of Emirates Group has admitted there is “no choice” but to take to the skies once more and help kick-start the Dubai economy, which has been hammered by the impact of Covid-19.

During an interview with CNN’s John Defterios, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum said the move to bring international tourism back to the emirate comes with obvious elements of risk, but added that Dubai is ready to meet all health and safety requirements.

Asked about the debate between risk and reward, he said: “I think there is no choice, and also, we have to take measures. We always take calculated risk, and I think we have done whatever it takes, really, to ensure that people who come here to be safe.

“I think we did so many tests to make sure also that we are geared for it. At the airport, we're using the PCRs, people coming in or leaving also to ensure also people leaving here.
