Annual Report 2008-2009 - Emirates.com

4. Revenue (continued)
Transport revenue is allocated to the segments based on turnover by destination. Revenue from inbound and outbound airline
operations between UAE and the overseas point are attributed to the geographical area in which the respective overseas points are
located. The Middle East segment also includes other operating income and other revenue streams since it is the principal segment in
which services are rendered. Costs not directly attributable to geographical segments are shown as unallocated.
The major revenue earning asset is the aircraft fleet which is registered in the UAE. Since the aircraft fleet is deployed flexibly across
Emirates’ route network, there is no suitable basis of allocating such assets and the related depreciation and liabilities to geographical
segments. Other non-cash items are primarily related to the Middle East segment.
