About the airline

What kind of airline is Emirates?

Emirates is the airline of Dubai and one of the largest international airlines in the world. It flies direct from several UK airports, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow and Edinburgh, so many travellers can start their journey close to home.

Dubai is a natural halfway point between the UK and much of Asia, Africa and Australia, which makes Emirates a popular choice for family visits to Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, as well as holidays further afield.
