About Emirates

On 25th October 1985, Emirates flew its first routes out of Dubai with just two aircraft—a leased Boeing 737 and Airbus 300 B4. Then as now, our goal was quality, not quantity, and in the years since taking those first small steps onto the regional travel scene, Emirates has evolved into a globally influential travel and tourism conglomerate known the world over for our commitment to the highest standards of quality in every aspect of our business.^[1] With a fleet of 137 aircraft, we currently fly to almost 100 destinations in 60 countries around the world, and our network is expanding constantly. Nearly 700 Emirates flights depart Dubai each week on their way to destinations on six continents. In fact, Emirates' flights account for nearly 40 per cent of all flight movements in and out of Dubai International Airport, and our aim is to increase this market-share to 70 per cent by 2010 without compromising our reputation for quality.^[2] Emirates’ current order-book stands at 156 aircraft, with a total value of approximately US$ 50 billion. In combination with what is already the youngest and one of the most modern fleets in worldwide commercial aviation, this commitment to the future reflects our goal to develop Dubai into a comprehensive, global, long-haul aviation hub. In the financial year 2007/2008, Emirates carried 21.2 million passengers and 1.3 million tonnes of cargo. We look forward to a bright future in which we carry many millions more across a growing network of international destinations.^[3]
