Biography: Tim Clark has been president of Emirates airline since 2003. Prior to this, Clark had been head of route planning at the carrier since 1985. Before joining Emirates, Clark worked at Gulf Air in Bahrain for four years, and previously at the now defunct British Caledonian, which he joined in 1972.

In April 1998, Clark was appointed managing director of SriLankan Airlines following Emirates’ acquisition of a major stake in the carrier. But when Emirates sold its stake in the airline to the Sri Lankan government, the Dubai carrier did not renew its management contract.
