Just over twenty years ago, Emirates was born as the official international airline of the United Arab Emirates On 25th October 1985, Emirates® flew its first routes out of Dubai with just two aircraft—a leased Boeing 737 and Airbus 300 B4. Then as now, our goal was quality, not quantity, and in the years since taking those first small steps onto the regional travel scene, Emirates® has evolved into a globally influential travel and tourism conglomerate known the world over for our commitment to the highest standards of quality in every aspect of our business. Continuing our explosive growth while continually striving to provide the best service in the industry is the secret of Emirates®' success. The airline's business includes:
With a fleet of 137 aircraft, we currently fly to over 100 destinations in 60 countries around the world, and our network is expanding constantly. Nearly 700 Emirates® flights depart Dubai each week on their way to destinations on six continents. In fact, Emirates®' flights account for nearly 40 per cent of all flight movements in and out of Dubai International Airport, and our aim is to increase this market-share to 70 per cent by 2010 without compromising our reputation for quality. |
