Emirates announced an increase in revenue today, though the Dubai-based airline still sustained a loss for the first half of its fiscal year.
Emirates reported $5.9 billion in revenue for the first half of its fiscal year, an 86 percent increase over last year's figure of $3.2 billion at the same time. The airline’s overall loss for the first half was $1.6 billion, which was less than the $3.4 billion loss last year, according to a statement from Emirates.
