2008 Flight International Crew Management Conference

1st - 2nd December 2008, Dubai

Latest News :

The story of Emirates is no less fascinating each time it’s told - and it has been, many times around the world. Dubai's quest to have its own international airline, the cheque for 10 million US dollars from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the two leased aircraft and the small team that established an airline model of the highest order.

Many still marvel at what Emirates has achieved in 22 short years, since the first flight to Karachi took off on October 25th, 1985 from a relatively rudimentary Dubai airport.

Under the chairmanship of HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, it is a story of collective wisdom, forensic planning and the boldness to create an airline that would help create an inspiring modern city, snatched from the desert. The growth of Dubai and Emirates went hand in hand and they still do to this day.

With a fleet of well over a 100 modern, wide-bodied aircraft, and a new plane arriving roughly every four weeks, the airline currently flies to around 100 destinations in six continents, from its international hub of Dubai.

Born into Dubai's Open Skies policy, the carrier has thrived on competition. Currently,120 airlines fly into Dubai and about half the 34 million passengers who travelled through the city last year were carried by Emirates.

Emirates' standing is so much more than an airline. The company has evolved into a travel and tourism operation on a colossal scale, straddling numerous divisions and propelled forward under the umbrella of the Emirates Group.

The impressive portfolio includes Dubai's household name of Dnata, the successful supplier of air travel services, and many other entities, such as Emirates SkyCargo, Emirates Hotels & Resorts, Skywards and Emirates Aviation College. In all, there are more than 40 brands, employing 35,000 people.
