‎Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates airline and Group His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, said, “It is no accident that Dubai has produced hugely successful global aviation entities including Emirates and dnata.

‎Dubai’s aviation sector has become an influential force on the global stage thanks to visionary leaders, strategic planning, coordinated execution, and strong support from our customers, business partners, and all the people of Dubai.

‎“When the government set up Emirates 40 years ago and we began expanding dnata’s capabilities to support the city’s growth, we had a clear mission - be the best at what we do; and deliver value to Dubai, our stakeholders, and the communities we serve.

‎“With that in mind, we’ve kept a laser focus on providing great products and services, and we continually invest in technology and talent to increase our competitive edge. We look after our people and our customers, and we work hard to positively impact our communities. We don’t cut corners, and we don’t take shortcuts that put our future at risk for short term gains.

‎By building our business models around these principles and Dubai’s unique strengths, the Emirates Group has thrived and stayed resilient through geo-political and socio-economic challenges over the years.”

‎The Group’s total workforce grew by 9% to 121,223 employees, its largest size ever, as Emirates and dnata continued recruitment activity around the world to support its expanding operations and boost its future capabilities.

‎Commenting on the outlook for 2025-26, Sheikh Ahmed said: “We enter the year ahead with excitement and optimism. Our excellent financial standing enables us to continue building on and scaling up from our successful business models. While some markets are jittery about trade and travel restrictions, volatility is not new in our industry.

‎We simply adapt and navigate around these challenges. 

‎“Emirates will strengthen our network connectivity with the expected delivery of 16 A350s and 4 Boeing 777 freighters in 2025-26, providing much-needed capacity to meet customer demand.

‎Our retrofit programme will continue apace to provide our customers the latest Emirates products and a more consistent experience across our A380, 777 and A350 fleet.

‎“dnata is on a steady growth path with facility investments coming to fruition in key markets, including the opening of new facilities in Amsterdam, Dubai and Erbil next year which will significantly expand our cargo handling capacity and capabilities.

ACCELERATED ENTRY : HOW EAST AFRICA LEAPFROGGED INTO THE CLOUD AGE

Image
By Erkan Satik, Director of Cloud Ecosystem & Alliances at Wingu Africa. East Africa has quickly become one of the most dynamic regions for cloud computing. By 2025, around 70–77% of enterprises across the region are using cloud services, placing East Africa among the continent’s leaders in digital adoption1.  Unlike Europe or North America, where legacy IT systems slow down transitions, East African firms often build directly on public cloud platforms, which reduces costs and avoids the burden of outdated infrastructure.
