Emirates Airline has been named \u2018Airline of the Year\u2019 at the 2018 Air Transport Awards.\u00a0Emirates won the prestigious accolade based the evaluation from a jury comprised of executives and experts from different sectors within the aviation industry.<\/p>\n

Thierry Antinori, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer for Emirates received the award on behalf of the airline. Commenting on the win, Mr Antinori said: \u201cWe are honoured to be recognised by the Air Transport Awards for our commitment to excellence. We have a strong customer-centric focus across the airline to deliver the best possible experience both in the air and on the ground by continually investing in a modern fleet, product innovations and service enhancements. We are also embracing technology across our operations to meet and exceed evolving consumer preferences. This award is a testament to the hard work and efforts of staff across the airline that make a difference everyday by taking care of our customers and keeping our service levels high.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emirates is the world\u2019s largest international airline, with a network that spans 159 destinations in 85 countries, operating one of the world\u2019s youngest wide-body fleets made up of Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 aircraft.<\/p>\n

Over the past year, the airline has launched a number of significant product enhancements on its Boeing 777 and A380 aircraft.\u00a0Emirates unveiled its enhanced A380 Onboard Lounge, featuring an airier look and feel, reconfigured seating arrangements around the iconic bar with private yacht-inspired d\u00e9cor, as well as new high-tech touches.<\/p>\n

In November 2017, Emirates revealed its game-changing, fully enclosed Boeing 777-300ER First Class private suites, part of a multi-million dollar upgrade that saw enhancements across all cabin classes.\u00a0 The airline has also just\u00a0introduced a brand new Business Class cabin and configuration on its Boeing 777-200LR aircraft, with wider seats laid out in a 2-2-2 configuration for the first time.<\/p>\n
