Emirates wins ‘World’s Best Airline’ award

In addition to winning 'World's Best Airline' Emirates scooped up a further two awards including; 'Best Middle East Airline' and for a record ninth year in a row, and 'World's Best Inflight Entertainment'.  The awards were collected by Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline at the Paris Airshow. The Skytrax World Airline Awards polled over 18 million business and leisure air travellers from more than 160 countries.

"Being honoured with these awards is testament to our unrelenting effort to be the world's best airline," said Clark. "We are constantly striving to offer our customers consistent, world-class service that extends from the moment they make their booking to the moment they arrive home at the end of their journey."

"For us, the awards clearly reflect a vote of confidence from global travellers, who acknowledge and appreciate our continuous drive to deliver high-quality service. To be voted 'World's Best Airline' by millions of discerning travellers really is something for our 60,000 strong workforce to be proud of," added Clark.

Last year over 39 million customers flew with Emirates, connecting across the airline's global network and enjoying the airline's extensive onboard innovations, including the industry leading inflight entertainment system ice, offering over 1,400 channels of entertainment.

Emirates flies daily from Dubai to Malta via Larnaka, Cyprus using a Boeing 777-200 aircraft.
