In this episode, I do a recap of the Dubai Airshow

We’ve got the latest on Salik reporting its highest Q3 revenue since the toll gates went live. Revenue was up more than 14 per cent, as the number of registered vehicles and revenue generating trips grew. However, Salik net profit for the first nine months fell, despite higher revenue. The company said this was due to changes to the operating structure, which meant it was hard to compare the performance on a like for like basis with last year. Meanwhile, Emirates and FlyDubai ordered more than $60 billion of new planes on Day One of the Dubai Airshow. Richard has an exclusive interview with Sir Tim Clark, President, Emirates Airlines - Emirates airline announced an order for 95 Boeing aircraft at a value of $52 billion.
