Why fly with Emirates
Awards
TripAdvisor has voted Emirates the 'Best Airline in the World' for 13 years in a row. Emirates strives to continuously provide the best services.
Sustainability
Emirates is an environmental leader in the aviation and travel industries. Their goal is to make sustainability and eco-efficiency essential to all flight operations.
Quality and Service
Emirates has been recognised for the quality of its in-flight cuisine, the breadth of its in-flight entertainment, and the excellence of its overall service.
Emirates Airlines resumed flights to and from Nigeria on October 15, 2024. Along with the flight resumption, they’re offering an added benefit for passengers traveling to Dubai: a free UAE visa valid for either 96 hours (4 days and 3 nights) or 48 hours (2 days). Passengers can apply for this benefit after booking their flights.
In 1985, Emirates flew its first routes out of Dubai with just two aircrafts, with primary focus on providing world-class customer service and quality. Emirates managed to evolve into a globally influential travel and tourism empire that is recognised globally.
They are the world's biggest international carrier, the seventh-largest airline in the world in terms of revenue, and the largest airline in the Middle-East in terms of revenue, fleet size, and passengers carried.
Emirates has been recognised many times over the years for their quality services, but they do not just want to be remembered as that as the company is constantly improving their services to be the best. Each award drives them to develop even better products and services, and they should certainly be proud of their reputation for overall excellence among global travellers.
Emirates is an airline that recognizes your travelling needs and goes over-and-above to ensure that your travelling experience is of impeccable standards.
