Thani Al Ansari has been named as the new Country Manager for Emirates in Ireland.

A UAE national, Al Ansari has worked with the airline for 12 years where he has had roles as Country Manager for Emirates in Kuwait and Iraq and for Egypt and Libya.

Thani Al Ansari succeeds Enda Corneille who joined Emirates in 2014 and stepped down from the position last month.

The airline said Thani Al Ansari will relocate to Dublin to head up the Emirates team located at Dublin Airport.

"I have always been interested in the growth and success of Emirates’ Irish operation, and I am looking forward to bringing my Middle Eastern market experience to Dublin to help build on and complement all of the great work already underway," said Thani Al Ansari.

"Moving to Ireland and meeting the team is an exciting prospect and I’m ready for the opportunities, and any challenges, that lie ahead."

Thani Al Ansari joins the Irish operation as Emirates marks its tenth anniversary in Ireland and the recent resumption of the airline’s double daily service from Dublin, following a two-year pandemic hiatus.
