EMIRATES has recently appointed Saeed Abdulla Miran as country manager for the Philippines. With an almost decade-long track record with Emirates, Saeed is tasked to lead the airline's operations in the Philippines while helping drive further its growth in the country.

Saeed's appointment comes at a time when air travel from the Philippines to other destinations around the world is picking-up following the easing of border restrictions in many countries. Emirates is considered the top carrier for hundreds of thousands of Filipinos who live and work in the UAE, and as the new country manager, Saeed's leadership will be critical in setting the future direction of the airline in the market.
