About Emirates

Emirates, established in 1985 with just two aircraft, has grown to become one of the world's leading airlines. Wholly owned by the Investment Corporation of Dubai, Emirates operates a modern fleet of over 260 wide-body aircraft, including the world's largest fleet of Airbus A380s (118 aircraft) and Boeing 777s (123 aircraft).

Based at Dubai International Airport (DXB), Emirates has transformed Dubai into a global aviation hub. The airline's Terminal 3 at DXB, dedicated exclusively to Emirates operations, handles over 1,500 flights weekly. In India, Emirates maintains a significant presence, operating 170 weekly flights to nine major cities, making it one of the largest international carriers serving the Indian market.

Emirates has consistently earned industry recognition, including "World's Best Airline" at the 2023 Skytrax World Airline Awards. The airline also holds a 5-star rating from APEX (Airline Passenger Experience Association) and has won multiple awards for its in-flight entertainment system, ICE (Information, Communication, Entertainment).
