Less than 24 hours after posting its most profitable year ever, Emirates Group has promised over 100,000 employees a 24-week bonus.

Emirates refused to comment on the matter. However, several staff members have confirmed to Khaleej Times that they received e-mails confirming the incentive.

In the e-mail, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline and Group wrote about the spectacular performance the company showcased before telling employees that they “deserve every bit of the 24-week bonus which will be added to [their] May salary.”

On Thursday, the company released its 2022-23 annual report and posted a record annual profit of Dh10.9 billion (US$ 3.0 billion). This is a complete turnaround from the company’s loss position last year. (Khaleej Times)
