Aviation in the region bound for stronger comeback
About this episode
The episode discusses the rebound of aviation in the region, freight developments, health initiatives, and the impact of regional tensions on Dubai's malls and entertainment industry.
Flights in the region climb back above 1,000 a day, with Tim Clark predicting a strong rebound for aviation. Etihad Rail has completed its first freight delivery of vehicles, with a shipment of cars transported by rail for the first time in the country. Abu Dhabi has approved the use of a new daily weight-loss pill as part of a wider programme to tackle obesity. We also look at the UAE’s new one billion dirham fund to support vital industries, and what that means for sectors like agriculture. With regional tensions impacting travel and footfall, how are Dubai’s malls adapting? And from business to entertainment, the new Michael Jackson biopic is breaking box office records despite poor reviews. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
