Sir Tim Clark,
Berlin - Arab Today

The Emirates president Tim Clark said he was concerned Donald Trump’s latest travel ban will continue to deter Muslim visitors to America after booking rates on flights to US destinations fell 35 per cent following January’s ban.
US president Donald Trump signed a revised executive order on Monday banning visits by travellers from six Muslim-majority countries.
The order takes effect on March 16 and keeps a 90-day ban on travel to the US for citizens of Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.
However, the order applies only to new visa applicants, meaning about 60,000 people whose visas were revoked by the previous order will now be permitted to enter. It also removed Iraq from the list.
"I am concerned. It’s the tone of it. We have brought millions of Muslims to the United States, but now they may not feel welcome, they may look at going on holiday elsewhere," Mr Clark said in Berlin on the sidelines of the ITB travel fair.
Demand for travel to the United States over the coming months has flattened with flights to and from the Middle East the hardest hit, a study released by travel analysis company ForwardKeys showed on Monday.
The January order caused chaos and confusion at airports worldwide, with the airline industry complaining about a lack of clear and direct communication from US officials.
Emirates, which flies to 11 US destinations, has not fully recovered from the original January 27 travel ban, suspended on February 3.
"The effect it had was instantaneous," Mr Clark said.
He said the revised order issued this week offered more clarity, and there had been some positive movement in bookings on the Emirates network but not a full recovery.
"When will it recapture the original booking curve is anyone’s guess," he said, adding that he hoped for an improvement in the summer after the usually quiet period during Ramadan.
