Emirates has garnered another slew of awards this month, including ‘Best International Airline’, ‘Best International First Class’, and ‘Best International Airline Lounge’ from the Forbes Travel Guide Verified Air Travel Awards, as well as a host of titles from entities such as the World Travel Awards, The Times and Sunday Times Travel Awards, and the Conde Nast Readers’ Choice Awards.
For the second year
running, Emirates has been voted as the Best International Airline by 9,000
frequent fliers in the hospitality industry, including luxury travel advisors
and Forbes Travel Guides inspectors, with results validated using a star
ratings system. Forbes detailed why Emirates was selected as the ‘Best
International Airline.’
‘The secret to the
Dubai-based airline’s success is that it continually refines every aspect of
the passenger experience. For example, Emirates recently debuted an opulent lounge-like
check-in area for its First-Class and Skywards Platinum members, and it’s the first
autism-certified airline, with more than 30,000 cabin crew and ground staff
trained to support travellers with autism.’
Echoing the same
sentiment, Emirates was revealed as the ‘Best Long-Haul Airline’ at The Times
and The Sunday Times Travel Awards 2025 – cast from 900,000 reader votes. This
award was credited to Emirates for its ‘cabin crew service, First Class suites
(including showers) and fleet of roomy Airbus A380s.’ The Times also mentioned
that Emirates continues to expand its footprint and has ‘connected the Middle
East to five new destinations this year, including Shenzhen in southern China' and
'Siem Reap, the entry point to the Angkor Wat complex in Cambodia.’
Emirates also recently scored 87.86 in the Conde Nast Readers’ Choice Awards Best Airline Category, as well as winning the title of Middle East's leading airline brand at the regional finals of the World Travel Awards 2025. -TradeArabia News Service
