Asia, Europe vote Emirates Business best

WIN: Emirates is set to close another year on a high triumphant note, its teeming trophy cabinet now making space for two more major international awards recently won in the fiercely-contested Business Class category.

In Europe, the airline scooped up the 'Best Business Airline' accolade, bestowed by readers of UK national daily and Sunday newspapers, the Guardian and Observer, and the website Guardian Unlimited; while in Asia it won the eagerly sought after 'Best Airline - Business Class' from TTG Asia.

We cherish every award we receive, and these two in particular represent a powerful endorsement from the discerning business travelling community and our travel trade partners in major regions of the world.

Both these awards are extremely timely, as passengers begin to enjoy our recently launched new generation of lie-flat Business Class seats. Our customers and industry partners play a pivotal role in our success and both awards signify our across-the-board appeal, Emirates' Executive Vice President Commercial Operations Worldwide, Ghaith Al Ghaith said.

Emirates' Business class competes successfully for a significant share of the passenger traffic by excelling in comfort, service and attention to detail. Exclusive check-ins, fully-equipped lounges, including dedicated Emirates Lounges at major airports around the world, and personal satellite telephones on every seat in-flight ensure its business passengers never waste valuable time.

Top-notch cuisine and beverages create a fine dining experience both in-flight and on the ground, and combined with the latest moves and entertainment, help passengers to unwind and relax.
