All about Emirates

Emirates are the national carrier of Dubai, and are owned by the government of Dubai. A relatively new airline, operating since 1985, Emirates have grown to become the largest airline in the United Arab Emirates, and the fourth-largest (in terms of passenger miles flown) in the world. Emirates currently fly to over 150 cities in over 80 countries worldwide.

Since 2008, all their operations have been moved to their hub in Dubai, now the third busiest airport in the world. Their fleet totals over 250 aircraft, all of which are wide-body, and includes Airbus A320 and A380's, as well as Boeing 777 and 787's. Emirates are currently the largest operator worldwide of the Airbus A380, as well as the Boeing 777.

Emirates are not currently part of any airline alliances, however they currently have partnerships with over 25 airlines worldwide, including Qantas and Jetstar. Emirates supply their own, award-winning catering onboard all their flights. Their 'ICE' entertainment system is one of the best in the world, and the economy entertainment screens are the largest of any commercial airline.

Emirates are known worldwide for their high quality aircraft as well as high levels of service, and have won the Skytrax 'World's Best Airline' award four times.

Where can I catch Emirates flights?

Emirates currently depart Australia from five major cities: Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. Passengers can fly direct to New Zealand from Sydney, otherwise all other flights will transit via Dubai.

The Emirates network is extensive, so passengers can visit Europe, Asia, North and South America, the Middle East, Africa and the Pacific.

Making the most of Emirates Sale Deals
