Emirates' Group President honoured Maurice Flanagan, Emirates' Group President and Vice Chairman, has been honoured for his role in the development of Dubai-based Emirates Airline into a global aviation force. Flanagan was selected by leading aviation magazine 'Flight International', as its Personality of the Year. The distinction was announced in Singapore during a glittering ceremony at the Millenia Ritz-Carlton Hotel attended by over 400 aviation industry leaders and guests, on the occasion of the magazine's 2004 Annual Aerospace Awards. Announcing the award, Flight Group Editor Kieran Daly said it was made in recognition of the pivotal role that Flanagan has played in the "expansion and constant strong financial showing of Emirates". He applauded Flanagan's 50-year contribution to commercial aviation, including his "19 years' dedication to Emirates" airline, which he helped to plan and to establish in October 1985. The award comes on the heels of Flanagan's 2003 golden jubilee in the aviation business, spanning the entire second half of aviation's century-old history. The 100th anniversary of the first successful flight by a self-powered airplane, achieved by the Wilbur and Orville Wright brothers in North Carolina, was observed on December 17, 2003. |
