Who is emirates owned by

There was an article last which compared total number of seats deployed by middle-east airlines. This reflects the fact that Emirates operates an all widebody fleet, while both Qatar Airways and Etihad operate a significant number of narrowbody aircraft. So the best way to pull customers from Emirates is to deliver on customer service. From my experience, I have seen many customers moved to Qatar Airways just because of better inflight experience.

Small example — B of Qatar Airways has nine seats in a row while Emirates has ten seats in a row. With one seat less, it gives more space for customer to move around and is much better during long haul flights. Emirates will not be a part of any larger alliances. Emirates strategy is different. They want to build their own customer base and they want to expand by themselves. Good article Vimit. I think you outlined the business model well.

Furthermore, the service and the staff are key differentiators of Emirates. The airline recruits young and attractive people from all over the world. On every Emirates flight, the lead cabin crew announces all the languages spoken by the staff. It allows people to be understood in their own language and in turn to be better catered. Its selection of fleet is also worth expanding on. The A has become a new way of flying, especially in Business or First Class.

These fleets are mostly on the European, Asian, and US routes. Attached to this is its loyalty rewards points, Skywards. As a Skywards Gold member for example, you are guaranteed economy seat with at least 48 hours in advance. Overall, there are many more ways in which Emirates distinguishes itself and it is good to keep those in mind, especially on the service and the destinations choices. I have taken Emirates over times while a Consultant living in Dubai and I would not want to switch airlines anymore.

I have been converted. Yes, due to large fleet size Emirates has advantage to cover varied destinations across the world. Thanks for the post, Vimit. What do you think about European and U. Thanks Anna for the great question. On state subsidies, I would say its a grey area. If you are talking about oil prices, in general jet fuel in middle-east is cheaper than other parts of the world. And all the airlines landing into middle-east airports can get this cheaper jet fuel.

Emirates is making use of open sky policy while U. Emirates buys new aircrafts continuously and has to deploy them somewhere in the world and as such Emirates is expanding its own network. You must be logged in to post a comment.
