US tariffs show 'no negative impact' at DXB, says Paul Griffiths

The sweeping new US tariffs has not had a "negative impact" on DXB, airport's CEO Paul Griffiths said, but added that with the "volatility of the situation, it's far too soon to comment".

Emphasising DXB's resilience, he said: "One thing we have always noticed about DXB is that if there is a bit of an interruption in demand in one market, it is compensated by demand increasing in another market."

In an interview with Dubai Eye 103.8's Business Breakfast show, Griffiths said that one airline has experienced the opposite of the expected impact.

At Emirates Airline, Chief Commercial Officer Adnan Kazim confirmed that while the airline continues to monitor the situation closely, it has yet to see any significant impact from tariff-related tensions.

Still, both leaders acknowledge the uncertainty that lies ahead. With the global situation evolving rapidly, it's too early to make firm predictions about the long-term effects on aviation.
