Emirates named Best Airline Worldwide

Emirates has earned the top spot at the Business Traveller Middle East Awards 2020, sweeping four awards – including the coveted Best Airline Worldwide for the seventh consecutive year.

The airline also took home awards for Airline with the Best First Class, Airline with Best Cabin Crew and Best Airport Lounge in the Middle East, read a media statement issued on Saturday.

The accolades underscore the company's commitment to offer a better and safer customer experience in the air and on the ground across every class of travel.

The awards also highlight how the airline has been supporting its customers during the Covid-19 pandemic and rapidly meeting consumer expectations in this time of crisis.

Emirates has reengineered its customer experience with industry-leading health and safety measures across every touchpoint of the travel journey, as well as introduced initiatives to offer travel assurance, greater flexibility and restore confidence in flying, the media statement claimed.

The Business Traveller Middle East Awards 2020 were presented virtually, and attended by hundreds of industry professionals across the region. The awards are judged by a panel of travel experts alongside the magazine's editorial team.

Emirates now operates nine flights a week from Dhaka and, via Dubai, offers convenient connections to nearly 100 global destinations.
