"I love my 117 A380s. We will still need them all" says a confident boss of the airline EMIRATES.

Our guest today has been in the aviation business for 48 years and has been decorated with the Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire since 2014. Sir Tim Clark is one of the founding members of the Emirate of Dubai's state-owned airline, of which he has been President and COO for 18 years.

His airline is by far the world's largest operator of the retired A380 aircraft model. The airline currently owns 117 of them and will receive the last five - of the models ever built - by early 2022.

Be curious about an in-depth, honest and amusing interview that Andreas Spaeth conducted with him for his book "The Last Giant." For the first time, you will also hear some self-critical facts: "We put up with too much from Airbus.
