Emirates has been recognized as the Best Airline for 2020 at The Sun
Travel Awards, and the Best Long-Haul Airline at The Times and The
Sunday Times Travel Awards.
Following an unprecedented year for travel, hundreds of thousands of
votes were cast by readers looking to celebrate the best in the
industry. Emirates’ range of world-class products and services on board
its modern, wide-body aircraft helped to secure the award wins, with
passengers able to enjoy over 4,500 channels of entertainment on ice –
the airline’s award-winning inflight entertainment system – as well as
regionally inspired meals and complimentary beverages.
The award wins comes as Emirates continues to safely resume operations
and rebuild its network to provide more opportunities for travel,
connecting customers to more than 95 destinations via Dubai.
The wins underscore Emirates’ commitment to offer a better and safer
customer experience in the air and on the ground across every class of
travel. Emirates has re-introduced its iconic A380 products and onboard
experiences, including the Onboard Lounge and Shower Spa, as well as
social areas in Business Class and First Class on select Boeing 777-
300ER aircraft following a thorough review and the implementation of
additional health and safety measures.
Emirates was recently rated the safest airline in the world in its
response to the COVID-19 Pandemic according to the Safe Travel
Barometer. It topped the ranks with a ‘Safe Travel Score’ of 4.4 out of
5.0 among 230+ airlines evaluated worldwide. The airline has set
industry-leading safety standards at every step of the customer journey,
including the distribution of hygiene kits, personal protective
equipment for cabin crew, and enhanced cleaning procedures including the disinfection of aircraft lavatories every 45 minutes on flights longer
than 1.5 hours.
Customers can stop over or travel to Dubai this winter as the city is
open for international business and leisure visitors. From eclectic
landmarks, pristine beaches, and world-class shopping malls – the city
remains one of the most popular global destinations. Emirates is
steadily rebuilding its network, providing more opportunities for travel
and connecting customers to more than 95 destinations via Dubai.
Emirates is one of the world’s largest international airlines with a
global footprint across six continents.
