Emirates Airlines is the flag carrier of the United Arab Emirates, based in Dubai. A subsidiary of the government-owned Emirates Group, it is the largest airline in the Middle East. The airline operates a vast international network, serving over 150 cities across six continents from its hub at Dubai International Airport with a fleet of more than 250 aircraft.
The airline is notable for its rapid growth and significant role in establishing Dubai as a major global aviation hub. It is recognized for its long-haul operations, particularly with wide-body aircraft like the Airbus A380 and Boeing 777, and for its extensive cargo division, Emirates SkyCargo.
Recently, Emirates has been in the news following the Dubai Airshow for a series of major announcements. The airline placed a substantial order for 65 additional Boeing 777-9 aircraft, a deal valued at billions of dollars.
