Emirates is an airlines based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Emirates was formed in 1985 by the Dubai government after Gulf Air reduced their flights to Dubai. With backing and help from Pakistan International Airlines with aircraft, administration and technical services, Emirates was set up. The first flight was from Dubai to Karachi.
Emirates has grown tremendously in these three decades and is now one of the largest airlines in the world. It is also the largest user of Airbus A380 superjumbo's (95 aircraft) and Boeing 777 (131 aircraft) with more to be delivered in the next years. It is one of the few airlines in the world who has a complete wide-body fleet; it does not use the A320 or B737 which are so common with low-cost airlines everywhere. Emirates was also the first airline to offer individual screens in the Economy Class; before, that was a luxury only for Business Class. Many thought at the time it would be to costly but it became so popular with passengers that soon other airlines had to quickly upgrade their Economy class seats as this became the new standard.
With its hub at Dubai Airport Emirates can connect Europe and the America's with Asia and Africa, a role played before very successfully by European airlines like Lufthansa, British Airways and Air France. The growth of Emirates has caused concerns at these large European airlines. Emirates is being accused of government help and subsidies but the succes of Emirates is mostly explained by a modern and efficient fleet, cheap staff (older airlines have huge pension obligations) and a focus on customer satisfaction.
Emirates flies to over 125 destinations. Most Emirates flights are for destinations in United States but Emirates has international flights to several other countries as well, like for example India and Australia. From its main base in Dubai 108 flights depart every week. Many people who look for Emirates tickets look for flights to Singapore and Bangkok.
