DUBAI, Nov 10 — Emirates airline said it was on the path to recovery from the Covid pandemic today as six-month losses dropped by more than a half from a year earlier.

“This momentum accelerated over the summer and continues to grow steadily into the winter season and beyond.” In June, Emirates announced its first annual loss in more than three decades after the coronavirus crisis forced it to suspend operations and slash staff last year. Today, it said the overall group workforce has shrunk again by 2.0 per cent to 73,571, but a recruitment drive is underway prioritising employees who were furloughed or made redundant.By the end of September, Emirates was operating passenger and cargo flights to 139 airports, using its entire fleet of Boeing 777s and 37 Airbus A380s. It launched services to Miami, a new destination, in July.

The financial results come ahead of next week’s Dubai Air Show, where Emirates is expected to discuss its delayed 777X order with Boeing.
