Emirates Airlines is all about extravagance, elegance and pleasure in
air. The First class private suites with flat beds, Caviar, Aubergine
Lasagna and other hors d’oeuvres served with champagnes and vintage
wines, shower spa with Timeless Spa kits, the gorgeous flight attendants
adorning red hats with white veils and khaki colored ensemble represent
the Emirates royal experience. The company, founded in 1985 is the
fastest growing airline while it fans out actively in the U.S air travel
market, leaving the U.S. air passenger carriers behind.
Business class travel in the U.S. is flourishing and Emirates is making
the most of it. At present, the U.S contributes to 7% of business for
Emirates. However, the airline aspires to expand in the U.S as it plans
to add more destinations to the existing nine. Emirates is procuring
more and more aircrafts to its existing fleet of 217 as it strives to
achieve a 70 million customers per year target by 2020 as compared to 40
million as of now.
Emirates’ marketing campaigns, does not only set its sight on the
business commuters but the routine fliers as well. Emirates also
launched an ad campaign to make the airline accessible to all, depicting
a company that connects the travelers worldwide.
Despite its much famed luxury travel, Emirates acquires major profits
from the economy seats, not the business or first class seats. Filling
the economy seats is prioritized.
Emirates Airlines has been conferred with various awards portraying it
as one of the most glamorous airlines. Brand Finance, U.K presented the
title of the most valuable airline brand across the globe to Emirates.
In 2013, owing to 19 million surveys by customers worldwide, Skytrax
fabled it the world’s best airline. The first-class lounge at Dubai
International Airport also attained first spot in 2013 World Travel
Awards.
