'Achieving our highest-ever Q1 profit of Dhs685 million and our best-ever customer satisfaction scores reflects the strength of our business and the dedication of our people.'
He added, 'We're executing a clear strategy: grow sustainably, operate efficiently, and never lose focus on delivering remarkable experiences to our guests. From continued refinements to our onboard offering to improved airport services and the debut of our A321LR with a market-leading narrowbody product, we're raising the bar in every part of the journey.
