Emirates Airline is today the premier airline in the Middle East and among the best airlines in the world. Emirates was voted the best airline in the world in 2016 at the Skytrax World Airline Awards. The airline flies to over 155 destinations in 80 countries, with a total of over 1500 flights weekly and 265 aircraft in its fleet. The airline has grown from humble beginnings- when Emirates Airline began operations in 1985, the company had all but two aeroplanes, they have evolved into a powerhouse of an airline that competes with and probably supersedes most other airlines in the world regarding quality service and efficiency. We will examine some of the reasons that have accounted for the exponential growth of Emirates Airlines and why it has evolved into the dominant airline in the Middle East and one of, if not the best airline in the world!
One of the things that set Emirates Airline apart from other carriers is the quality inclusions that they provide on their flights. They offer a full meal, whether its breakfast, lunch or dinner to all passengers. So, even if you fly in economy class on Emirates airline, you will receive quality food that is not even available in first class on other airlines! Also, Emirates Airline has a specific menu for kids with wide-ranging options, so you do not have to worry about what your picky child will eat during a long flight! The type, quality and variety of meals available in-flight on Emirates Airline is second to none, and you will be hard-pressed to find similar offerings on any other airline in the world. Also, the in-flight entertainment system on Emirates is the envy of the Airline Industry, the system is very user-friendly and interactive and provides passengers with over 3500 movie channels, music, games and TV shows on demand and in several languages! So, when you are on those long haul flights, you can relax and get immersed into your own world, and you will be jolted back to reality when you are advised that it is time for landing! You will be amazed at how seemingly quickly you got to your destination, thanks to the quality of the in-flight entertainment system. It is, therefore, no coincidence that Emirates Airline has won numerous awards over the years for its in-flight entertainment including the prestigious Skytrax World Airline Awards for twelve years in a row.
Another hallmark of Emirates Airline is their commitment to customer satisfaction. From making that call to book your flight, checking in at the airport to the in-flight experience, the level of service is world class with Emirates. All of the Emirates staff provide genuine service with considerable attention to detail and a desire for customer satisfaction that is hard to replicate in the airline industry. One of the reasons for this level of professional service is due to the extensive and ongoing training that the Emirate staff receives, recruits undergo over seven weeks of training, learning the “Emirates standards” of safety and service delivery.
The fleet of Emirates Airlines is another reason why they are among the best in the world. The company operates 265 aeroplanes, which is made up of Airbus A380’s and Boeing 777’s exclusively, they are the only airline that uses the luxurious A380’s and Boeing 777’s only and their fleet is among the most modern in the world. This results in a comfortable and relaxing flight for passengers, inclusive of the take-off and landing procedures which are incredibly seamless and turbulent free. Emirate Airlines is the perfect carrier for you if you have a fear of flying, the whole flight experience is so flawless that you might not remember that you are flying!
In the final analysis, Emirates Airline is one of the best in the world because of its philosophy of offering top quality service to every passenger; they also ensure that everyone is entertained by providing the most extensive variety of on-demand in-flight entertainment of any airline in the world. Passengers also dine like kings and queens on Emirates, and the aeroplanes are as luxurious and comfortable as it gets in the industry.
