Focus on Flights Over Hostile Territory
Emirates CEO believes industry could have responded much better

Aviation regulators need to be better able to exchange information about possible threats to flights over hostile territory, according to Emirates Airline CEO Sir Tim Clark. In a November 22 interview about the shooting down of a Malaysian Airlines airliner over Ukraine, Clark commented: “We could have done better as an industry in bringing together the information that was allowed to float around among us … What I am trying to crack is that ability for the airline community to take this information, irrespective of source … and not question where it came from.”
