Emirates Group recorded its highest-ever profit for the 2025-26 financial year, posting a pre-tax profit of AED24.4 billion (US$6.6 billion), an increase of seven per cent compared to the previous year. The Group also achieved record revenue of AED150.5 billion (US$41 billion) despite facing operational disruptions across the Gulf region during the reporting period.
Emirates maintained its position as the world’s most profitable airline, reporting a pre-tax profit of AED22.8 billion (US$6.2 billion), up seven per cent year-on-year. The strong performance was driven by network expansion and the addition of new Airbus A350 aircraft equipped with the airline’s latest products and technologies.
Meanwhile, dnata also delivered an impressive performance, recording its highest-ever revenue of AED23.6 billion (US$6.4 billion) alongside steady profit growth, supported by increased airport operations, catering and travel services activities.
For the financial year ended 31 March 2026, Emirates Group also reported record cash assets of AED59.6 billion (US$16.2 billion), reflecting a 12 per cent increase compared to the previous year. The Group’s EBITDA reached AED41.1 billion (US$11.2 billion), highlighting strong operating profitability.
The Group declared a dividend of AED3.5 billion (US$1 billion) to its owner, the Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD). Following the increase in the UAE corporate tax rate from nine to 15 per cent due to the implementation of Pillar Two tax regulations, Emirates Group posted a profit after tax of AED21 billion (US$5.7 billion), up three per cent from the 2024-25 financial year.
Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, said the outstanding results demonstrated the resilience of Emirates Group’s business model, which is built on safety, innovation, service excellence, strong talent and strategic partnerships.
He noted that during the first 11 months of the 2025-26 financial year, demand for Emirates and dnata products and services remained robust, contributing to higher revenue and healthy profit margins driven by continuous investments in products, technology, branding and people development.
However, military activities in the Gulf region on 28 February significantly disrupted global commercial aviation operations, including in the UAE. Emirates and dnata responded swiftly by implementing measures to support affected customers and employees while ensuring operational continuity.
Sheikh Ahmed said Dubai’s position as a global aviation hub, supported by modern infrastructure and a strong aviation ecosystem, enabled UAE authorities to act quickly in securing safe commercial flight corridors. Operations at Dubai International Airport (DXB) have since gradually recovered, although passenger capacity has yet to fully return to pre-disruption levels.
He also highlighted the important role played by Emirates Group employees in ensuring the organisation remained agile and operationally efficient during challenging times. Sheikh Ahmed further expressed appreciation for Dubai’s leadership and its continued support for the aviation sector as a key driver of the emirate’s economy.
Throughout the 2025-26 financial year, Emirates Group invested AED17.9 billion (US$4.9 billion) in new aircraft, facilities, equipment and advanced technologies to support future growth. The Group’s workforce also expanded by eight per cent to 130,919 employees, including a growing UAE national workforce which now exceeds 4,000 employees.
Commenting on the outlook for 2026-27, Sheikh Ahmed said Emirates Group is entering the new financial year with a very strong cash position and solid business fundamentals. He added that the Group would continue its aircraft delivery and cabin retrofit programmes while maintaining investments in new facilities and world-class customer experiences.
During the year, Emirates expanded its network with four new destinations: Da Nang, Hangzhou, Siem Reap and Shenzhen. As of 31 March 2026, Emirates’ global network covered 152 cities across 80 countries. The airline also strengthened its strategic partnerships with 32 codeshare partners and 117 interline partners, providing customers access to more than 1,700 cities worldwide.
Emirates received 15 new Airbus A350 aircraft during the financial year, enabling the airline to offer more premium products, including Premium Economy Class and next-generation inflight entertainment systems. By the end of March 2026, Emirates operated a fleet of 277 aircraft with an average fleet age of 10.8 years.
Emirates’ revenue increased by two per cent to AED130.9 billion (US$35.7 billion), while profit after tax reached a record AED19.7 billion (US$5.4 billion). The airline carried 53.2 million passengers during the financial year, recording a passenger seat factor of 78.4 per cent.
As part of efforts to enhance customer experience, Emirates introduced high-speed Starlink internet connectivity across its aircraft and continued its US$5 billion cabin retrofit programme. To date, 91 aircraft have completed the full refurbishment process.
Emirates SkyCargo also delivered strong performance, handling 2.4 million tonnes of cargo, up three per cent from the previous year. The cargo division generated AED16.2 billion (US$4.4 billion) in revenue, contributing 12 per cent to Emirates’ total revenue.
In addition, dnata continued to strengthen its global operations as revenue increased by 12 per cent to AED23.6 billion (US$6.4 billion). The growth was driven by increased aviation and travel activities across key markets including Australia, Europe, the UAE, the United Kingdom and the United States.
dnata also invested AED858 million (US$234 million) to expand catering facilities, cargo operations and environmentally friendly ground support equipment. The company continued implementing sustainability initiatives, including the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), food waste reduction programmes and the adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles in its operations.
On the social responsibility front, Emirates Group continued supporting community programmes through the Emirates Airline Foundation and the dnata4good platform, including initiatives focused on education, healthcare and welfare assistance for underprivileged communities worldwide.

Impian peminat Malaysia untuk menyaksikan persembahan solo penuh daripada Ghea Indrawari akhirnya menjadi kenyataan menerusi konsert “GHEA INDRAWARI: RASI JIWA – Live in Kuala Lumpur” yang berlangsung di Zepp Kuala Lumpur baru-baru ini. Persembahan yang berlangsung hampir dua jam itu berjaya menghadirkan pengalaman muzik yang cukup peribadi dan emosional buat para peminat.
Dianjurkan oleh Semangat Zaman Music & Entertainment, konsert tersebut menghimpunkan lebih 1,200 peminat setia yang memenuhi ruang dewan sejak awal malam lagi. Walaupun tampil dengan konsep sederhana, persembahan itu tetap meninggalkan impak besar menerusi susunan muzik dan penghayatan emosi yang sangat kuat.
Sejak lagu pembukaan “Rasa Cinta Ini” dimainkan, suasana dewan terus dipenuhi sorakan dan nyanyian penonton. Ghea tampil cukup tenang namun setiap bait lagu yang disampaikan terasa sangat dekat dengan jiwa pendengar. Deretan lagu seperti “Malaikat”, “Bucketlist” dan “Terima Kasih Sudah Bertahan” turut menerima respons luar biasa daripada peminat.
Apa yang membuatkan persembahan malam itu begitu istimewa ialah cara Ghea menyampaikan lagu-lagunya dengan penuh kejujuran. Tanpa perlu terlalu banyak gimik pentas atau produksi berlebihan, penyanyi itu berjaya menghidupkan keseluruhan suasana hanya menerusi vokal dan emosi yang dibawakan.
Pencahayaan sepanjang konsert juga memainkan peranan penting dalam menghidupkan mood setiap segmen persembahan. Ketika lagu-lagu perlahan dipersembahkan, limpahan cahaya putih malap bersama lautan lampu telefon bimbit penonton mencipta visual yang cukup indah dan menyentuh hati.
Dari sudut audio pula, sistem bunyi yang digunakan berjaya mengekalkan kelembutan vokal Ghea tanpa menenggelamkan susunan muzik langsung. Setiap instrumen kedengaran jelas dan seimbang, sekali gus menjadikan pengalaman menonton lebih selesa dan immersive buat penonton di dalam dewan.
Salah satu momen paling menyentuh malam itu hadir ketika Ghea membacakan surat buat dirinya yang lebih muda sebelum menyampaikan lagu “Masa Mudaku Habis” dan “Berdamai”. Suasana dewan menjadi cukup sunyi apabila seluruh penonton memberi perhatian penuh terhadap setiap kata-kata yang diucapkan.
Konsert kembali rancak menerusi lagu-lagu seperti “Oh Tuhan!”, “1000X”, “Tadi Malam” dan “Kamu Anggap Apa” yang membuatkan seluruh dewan kembali bersorak dan bernyanyi bersama. Interaksi spontan Ghea bersama peminat juga menjadikan persembahan terasa lebih dekat dan santai.
Kemuncak malam tentunya hadir ketika intro lagu “Teramini” dan “Jiwa Yang Bersedih” mula dimainkan. Ramai peminat dilihat menyanyikan lagu tersebut dengan penuh emosi sehingga mencipta suasana yang cukup mengharukan di seluruh dewan.
Konsert diakhiri dengan lagu “Manusia Paling Bahagia” yang menjadi simbol penutup sempurna buat malam penuh emosi tersebut. Secara keseluruhan, “Rasi Jiwa” membuktikan bahawa kekuatan sebenar Ghea Indrawari bukan hanya terletak pada lagu-lagunya, tetapi juga keikhlasan yang berjaya disampaikan di atas pentas.
Belum pun sempat menjengah ke layar perak, filem seram thriller terbaharu, Polong, sudah mula menyebarkan “gangguan” dalam kalangan pengguna media sosial. Sejak pelancaran poster dan trailer rasminya pada 7 Mei lalu, ruang digital dihujani pelbagai reaksi luar jangka daripada netizen yang rata-ratanya mengakui terkesan dengan atmosfera gelap dan ngeri yang ditampilkan.
Kesan visual yang mengganggu serta sinematografi yang menyeramkan menjadi topik bualan utama di platform digital. Ramai penonton menyatakan rasa tidak senang duduk dan meremang bulu roma seawal beberapa saat pertama menonton trailer berkenaan.
Malah, ada yang menyifatkan naskhah ini sebagai filem seram tempatan paling “keras” tahun ini, dengan jangkaan bahawa ia bakal memberikan tahap ketakutan yang berbeza berbanding filem genre sama sebelum ini.
Ruangan komen di media sosial dibanjiri pujian terhadap sentuhan pengarah yang berjaya menghidupkan elemen horror dan gore secara sinematik. Netizen menyifatkan trailer tersebut sudah cukup untuk memberikan rasa “goosebumps” yang nyata, sekali gus membina harapan tinggi agar naskhah penuhnya nanti tidak mengecewakan.
Gabungan elemen misteri dan visual yang mengganggu minda dilihat menjadi punca utama mengapa Polong kini menjadi fenomena tular.
Naskhah penuh debaran ini merupakan arahan Zulkarnain Azhar dan diterbitkan oleh Golden Star Pictures Sdn. Bhd. (GSPSB). Bagi memastikan impak yang meluas, filem ini mendapat sokongan pengedaran daripada 10 Star Cinemas Sdn Bhd serta kerjasama pemasaran strategik bersama Primeworks Studios.
Kekuatan filem ini turut disandarkan kepada barisan pelakon berprofil tinggi seperti Mimi Lana, Fad Anuar, Jun Lojong, Namron, dan Nadiya Nisaa.
Polong membawa penonton menelusuri kisah Fatima, seorang wartawan gigih yang tanpa sengaja membongkar rahsia hitam seorang bomoh wanita bernama Maria Hadi. Pencarian kebenaran tentang jenayah silam Maria bukan sekadar mendedahkan misteri lama, malah tanpa disedari telah membebaskan entiti berbahaya yang pernah dipelihara dan dikawal oleh bomoh tersebut. Apa yang bermula sebagai pencarian fakta kini bertukar menjadi ancaman nyawa yang tidak terduga.
Persoalan yang kini bermain di fikiran peminat filem seram adalah jika trailer ringkas sudah mampu mencetuskan kegemparan sehebat ini, sejauh manakah “gangguan” sebenar yang bakal menanti mereka di dewan pawagam nanti?
Segalanya bakal terjawab apabila Polong mula menghantui pawagam di seluruh negara bermula 28 Mei 2026.

Penyanyi berbakat, Adam Nuqris, mempertaruhkan single sulung berjudul ‘Alasan’ sebagai langkah pertama beliau dalam membina legasi seni yang lebih berstruktur. Selepas berjaya mengumpul pengikut melebihi 68,000 di platform TikTok, keberanian Adam untuk beralih ke fasa profesional ini memperlihatkan evolusi bakat beliau yang sebelum ini tular menerusi siri nyanyian semula (cover) pelbagai genre. Mempertaruhkan identiti vokal yang unik, naskhah ini menjadi bukti komitmen beliau dalam membina kerjaya seni yang mampan dan berdaya saing dalam industri muzik tempatan.
Pembangunan karakter seni Adam Nuqris berakar umbi daripada pengalaman peribadi yang diterjemahkan secara jujur ke dalam bentuk karya. Sebagai seorang pemuzik autodidak, latar belakang beliau yang pernah berkhidmat dalam sektor perkhidmatan dan perniagaan kecil di Kampung Baru memberikan nilai tambah kepada naratif penceritaan yang dibawa.
Beliau menekankan bahawa setiap fasa kehidupan, termasuk cabaran yang dilalui sebelum ini, menjadi intipati utama dalam membentuk kejujuran muzik yang dipersembahkan kepada pendengar.
Dari aspek teknikal, “Alasan” merupakan hasil kolaborasi strategik bersama komposer Kidd Santhe serta barisan penulis lirik berwibawa termasuk Saixse dan Altimet. Gabungan ini menghasilkan sebuah karya bergenre hip-hop dengan suntikan trap moden yang menonjolkan kematangan produksi.
Secara lirik, lagu ini meneroka sudut pandang introspektif mengenai keberanian untuk melepaskan perhubungan yang tidak lagi produktif, sekali gus mengangkat tema pemerkasaan diri yang jarang diteroka dalam naratif lagu patah hati konvensional.
Bagi melengkapkan pelancaran ini, sebuah video muzik sinematik telah dihasilkan di bawah arahan pengarah kreatif, Kripxen, bagi memberikan impak visual yang setaraf dengan kualiti audio yang dihasilkan.
Di bawah naungan SVLTAN Management dengan kerjasama Sony Music Entertainment Malaysia, pengenalan profil solo Adam Nuqris ini dijangka bakal memberikan nafas baharu kepada landskap muzik moden tanah air. Single “Alasan” kini boleh didapati dan dinikmati di semua platform penstriman digital bermula hari ini.
Why “feeling fine” after an accident can hide dangerous, delayed internal complications.
Road traffic accidents persist as a significant public safety challenge in Malaysia, with the Royal Malaysia Police recording 221,661 cases nationwide as of April 2026. While the physical impact of a collision occurs in seconds, the physiological consequences—particularly those involving traumatic brain injury (TBI)—can manifest and escalate over several hours. Medical experts emphasize that the severity of a head injury is not always reflected by its immediate presentation at the scene.
Patients may initially appear lucid and stable while internal complications, such as cerebral oedema or intracranial hemorrhaging, develop progressively. This delayed onset necessitates rigorous neurological monitoring to prevent a seemingly minor incident from evolving into a permanent disability or a life-threatening condition.
The clinical spectrum of head injuries is broad, encompassing concussions, brain trauma, and skull fractures. A primary injury occurs at the moment of impact through direct force or rotational movement, while secondary injuries involve subsequent complications like hypoxia or increased intracranial pressure. Because the human skull is a rigid, non-expansive structure, any internal swelling or bleeding can severely restrict blood flow to the brain, leading to ischemia and irreversible cellular damage.
Modern diagnostic protocols, including CT imaging and cervical spine stabilization, are essential tools used in Accident and Emergency departments to identify these hidden pathologies that remain invisible to the naked eye during initial on-site assessments.
Identifying “red flag” symptoms is crucial for timely medical intervention. While early indicators may be as subtle as persistent headaches or mild confusion, more advanced symptoms such as repeated vomiting, slurred speech, unequal pupil size, or seizures signal urgent neurosurgical risk. Furthermore, trauma to specific areas like the frontal lobe can result in significant behavioral and emotional shifts, including increased irritability or personality changes.
Given that these warning signs can be delayed, the 24 to 48 hours following an impact are considered a critical observation window. Families and caregivers must remain vigilant for any decline in a patient’s cognitive or physical status, as early detection remains the most effective defense against the long-term risks of neurodegenerative diseases.
Ultimately, the management of head trauma focuses on stabilizing the patient and mitigating secondary damage through tailored treatment plans, ranging from structured rest to emergency neurosurgery.

Industri muzik Indonesia secara rasminya menerima dimensi baharu menerusi pelancaran identiti muzik yang dinamakan sebagai POPDUT. Evolusi kreatif ini diperkenalkan oleh gandingan duo, Dodo Zak dan Cheryl, menerusi pertaruhan single sulung mereka yang berjudul Gak Peka (Terserah). Karya ini menandakan satu titik transformasi penting daripada genre asal “hipdut” kepada gabungan Pop Groovy dan Dangdut yang lebih sofistikated, segar, serta mampu memenuhi cita rasa pendengar arus perdana masa kini.
Naskhah Gak Peka (Terserah) merupakan sebuah karya yang mengangkat realiti dinamika perhubungan yang kompleks namun sering terjadi dalam kalangan masyarakat. Inti pati lagu ini memfokuskan kepada isu komunikasi yang tidak efektif, di mana perkataan “terserah” dijadikan sebagai simbolik kepada kesulitan pasangan dalam menyuarakan kehendak sebenar mereka.
Melalui pendekatan dua sudut pandang, lagu ini berjaya menggambarkan perspektif lelaki dan wanita secara objektif, menjadikannya sebuah naskhah yang sangat dekat dengan pengalaman peribadi ramai pendengar.
Di sebalik penghasilan karya ini, kedua-dua artis membawa naratif perjuangan yang cukup signifikan dalam perjalanan kerjaya mereka. Dodo Zak yang sebelum ini merupakan seorang profesional dalam sektor perbankan selama hampir tujuh tahun, telah mengambil keputusan berani untuk beralih ke industri seni demi merealisasikan minatnya.
Manakala Cheryl pula mempamerkan ketabahan luar biasa dalam membina nama secara mandiri tanpa bergantung kepada sebarang keistimewaan latar belakang, sekali gus memberikan kedalaman emosi yang tulus terhadap persembahan vokal beliau.
Keserasian antara Dodo Zak dan Cheryl dalam naskhah ini terhasil daripada gabungan tenaga ekspresif dan karakter emosional yang seimbang, sekali gus mewujudkan dinamika penceritaan yang hidup.
Melalui sentuhan penulis lagu Mochammad Rofi Arsiyan dan Yudis Apriyanto, POPDUT bukan sekadar pengenalan genre baharu, tetapi merupakan satu manifestasi seni yang menggabungkan elemen moden dan tradisi dengan harmoni. Pengenalan Gak Peka (Terserah) diharapkan dapat menjadi pemangkin kepada kepelbagaian warna dalam industri muzik serantau serta menjadi rujukan kepada kualiti penghasilan muzik yang inklusif bagi pelbagai lapisan generasi.
