Emirates has been named the best airline in the world by Skytrax, the leading consumer aviation website for the year 2016. The Dubai-based airline received the award at the recently concluded Farnborough Air Show. Emirates has earned the honor for the fourth time in the last 15 years. The airline had initiated the winning strategy in 2013. This year the airline dismantles Qatar Airways to take the honor.
What makes Emirates special?
When it comes to the Middle East, everything is extraordinary and means class and luxury, the same goes for Emirates Airlines. From the designer uniforms of the crew and support staff to the food and drinks on board, Emirates stands out in all criteria compared to other airlines.
The services that make Emirates special are:
Private Suite – Emirates flights have hotel-style rooms with private space for passenger comfort, convenience and relaxation.
shower baths – Whether traveling for business or pleasure, spa showers will ensure you arrive at your destination refreshed and prepared.
Exclusive lounges on board – If you’ve ever visited an Emirates airport lounge, you’ll know why it’s been declared the best. The lounges have spas, food buffets, relaxing beds and sofas, and much more to keep you busy until you board your Emirates flight.
Wi-Fi in flight – Wi-Fi is a must for any modern airline and how can Emirates fall behind? This is one of the first airlines to start offering Wi-Fi on all its short, medium and long-haul flights.
In-flight entertainment – ICE is Emirates’ in-flight entertainment system. Passengers would fall in love with the wide variety of entertainment options. There are more than 2,500 channels of movies, TV shows, music shows, and online games to choose from in multiple languages. The ice digital display is wide with subtitle option as well. Passengers can create their own personal playlist for the entire trip.
World class cuisine – A selection of food from around the world that would define your in-flight dinner; yes, that is what would aptly describe what the Emirates food and beverage section has to offer. From caviar to salmon to fine wine, you can find it all on board an Emirates flight.
These are only the services on board, but Emirates services are not limited to just this. The airline also takes care of its passengers on the ground. It offers airport transfers, car rentals, and even limousines on demand for hassle-free transportation to the airport.
Middle Eastern airlines have set the standards for airlines around the world and it is time for others to step up and join the competition. This competitiveness alone would make flying fun for travelers like us.
