Emirates

Emirates is the largest airline and one of two flag carriers of the United Arab Emirates. Based in Garhoud, Dubai, the airline is a subsidiary of The Emirates Group, owned by the government of Dubai's Investment Corporation of Dubai. It is also the largest airline in the Middle East, operating over 3,600 flights per week from its hub at Terminal 3 of Dubai International Airport before the COVID-19 pandemic. It works in more than 150 cities in 80 countries across six continents through its fleet of nearly 300 aircraft. Emirates SkyCargo undertakes cargo activities. Emirates is the world's fourth-largest airline by scheduled revenue passenger-kilometers flown and the second-largest in terms of freight tonne kilometers flown.

Emirates was conceived in March 1985 with backing from Dubai's royal family, with Pakistan International Airlines gifting two of the airline's first aircraft. With $10 million in start-up capital, it was required to operate independently of government subsidy. Pakistan International Airlines provided accessible training facilities to Emirates cabin crew at Karachi airport. After its founding, the airline expanded both its fleet and its destinations.

Emirates operates a mixed fleet of Airbus and Boeing wide-body aircraft and is one of the few airlines to operate an all-wide-body aircraft fleet. As of December 2021, Emirates is the largest Airbus A380 operator with 121 aircraft. Since its introduction, the Airbus A380 has become an integral part of the Emirates fleet, especially on long-haul, high-density routes.
