DUBAI (Reuters) – Emirates President Tim Clark said on Monday the airline’s last financial year has not been easy and that the company is not growing at its previous pace due to political tensions in the region and elsewhere.

“We’ve managed to come ahead with positive results, although it’s not as good as it has been in the past,” he said.
