About Emirates

The more people fly, the more


important they are. The typical
transumer has worked his way
up the corporate ladder and has
a high disposable income. Hard
to please and on the look for
the highest quality, Emirates is
the obvious choice for them as
we deliver the high standards in
product and service they expect.
