Emirates Awards
First-class honours
More than 500 international awards are testament to the hard work and determination of every member of the Emirates Group team.
Emirates has been recognised as the best in the world many times over the years for everything from the breadth of their in-flight entertainment to the quality of their products and service staff whether in-flight, at the airport, at their call centres or sales offices.
But Emirates refuses to rest on our laurels. Each award drive them to develop even better products and services, and while they are certainly proud of their global reputation for excellence among travellers, they are equally proud of achievements that many of their passengers might not be aware of, such as their international cargo service.
