EMIRATES: IASS 2016 HOST SPONSOR

Emirates is the world’s largest international airline, serving 150 cities in 80 countries from its hub in Dubai. Last year, the airline carried over 50 million passengers on more than 186,000 flights, travelling more than 824 million kilometers around the globe, or the equivalent of 1,000 trips to the moon and back.

Emirates is the largest operator of both the Boeing 777 aircraft, and the Airbus A380, the world’s largest commercial passenger aircraft. In 2016, the airline will receive delivery of 36 new aircraft, and retire 26 older aircraft as part of its strategy to operate a young and efficient fleet. This reduces fuel consumption and emissions, and also means Emirates can provide its customers with the latest features and comforts on board.

Over its 30 years of operations, Emirates has earned global acclaim for its industry-leading products and services — in the air, and on the ground; and excellence across its operations.
