Emirates has carried more than 10 million passengers on nearly 35,000 flights to 130 destinations this summer.
The airline said it anticipated the strong return of travel, and worked closely with its airport partners to operate as scheduled with minimal disruptions.
Emirates said it also ramped up operations to serve customer demand, reinstating daily services to London Stansted.
The company also increased flights to 33 cities across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, as well as to favourite holiday spots like the Seychelles, Maldives, Mexico and Miami.
In June, Emirates added Tel Aviv to its global network and in July it added a third daily flight to London Gatwick to serve travellers impacted by capacity cuts at Heathrow.
The Emirates A380, the world’s largest commercial jet, was also deployed to serve high customer demand in over 30 cities around its network.
On ground, the airline re-opened and operates 32 signature Emirates Lounges, including 25 dedicated lounges at major airports across its network.
The airline had also reinstated its trademark complimentary Chauffeur Drive airport transfers for First and Business Class customers in nearly all cities it serves.
During the summer months:
- Over 3.8 million travellers across the network conveniently checked in online via emirates.com and the Emirates App
- Over 500,000 travellers utilised the 22 self-service check-in kiosks and 38 baggage drop facilities in Dubai Terminal 3
- Over 11,000 travellers utilised Emirates’ home check-in services, which are complimentary for First Class passengers departing Dubai, entirely skipping the airport check-in queue and proceeding straight to immigration.
Emirates is currently operating at 74% of its pre-pandemic network/capacity and plans to increase that to 80% by year-end.
The airline is also commencing in November a US$2 billion retrofit programme to equip 120 aircraft with its latest onboard products.
