Emirates rounds off 2018 with 5 awards in one week

Emirates recently made a clean sweep with award wins across multiple countries — from Russia and Belgium to the UAE.

Emirates was named “Best Airline in the World” and “Best Airline in the Middle East” at the 2018 ULTRAs. In a vote taken by over 500,000 readers of The Telegraph’s luxury travel magazines Ultratravel UK and Ultratravel Middle East, the awards recognize the world’s best providers of luxury travel experiences. Sir Tim Clark, president of Emirates Airline, received the awards at a ceremony held in Dubai at the Burj Al-Arab Jumeirah hotel. The ceremony was attended by key members in the global travel industry.

In Russia, Emirates was recognized for its operational excellence and outstanding customer service, scooping two prestigious awards as “Best International Airline” at the eighth National Geographic Traveler Awards 2018, and “Best Middle Eastern Airline” at the Business Traveler Russia and CIS Awards 2018.

 The National Geographic Traveler Awards ceremony was attended by industry leading figures as well as media representatives from across Europe. 

Earlier in Belgium, Emirates was named the “Best Long Haul Airline 2018” at the Travel Magazine Awards 2018. The ceremony was attended by 700 industry leading figures, travel professionals and media representatives. This is the 21st Travel Magazine travel Awards where global brands are recognized as best hospitality providers in Belgium.
