Emirates expects reduced revenues due to troubles in the region

Tim Clark, President of Emirates Airlines said the company's revenues are reduced by 3 to 5% because of unrest in the Middle East and North Africa.

Clark said in an interview with Reuters,  "We realize that this is not a transient event and that it will continue so we suspended flights to Libya and Tunisia  and we reduced the number of flights to Cairo."
