Dubai

The current backlog of 125 aircraft is delayed enough that none of the 2024 planned units will reach the Dubai-based carrier.

Starting October 1, Emirates offers daily flights between Lagos and Dubai, enhancing travel options and trade between Nigeria and the UAE.

Emirates has operated scheduled services to South Africa for almost three decades, establishing itself as a top choice for many travelers.

Capacity is at an all-time high between China and the Middle East, with Chinese carriers driving the growth, motivated by weak demand elsewhere.

One of the biggest carriers in the Arabian Gulf region, Dubai-based flydubai recently announced its full-year results for 2023.

The carrier is going to substantially extend the possibilities for network expansion. What strategic avenue could it take?

Emirates is spending nearly $1 billion to develop a massive engineering complex at Dubai World Central Airport, which is set to open in 2027.

The carrier has already took deliveries of some of the last remaining units of its outstanding Airbus A220 order. Nearing IPO, the management decided to take on more planes to build a growth story around them.

Even for the largest passenger jet in the world, the Dubai-based airline joins a growing list of global airlines struggling to find pilots for the left seat.

The Emirates-Flydubai partnership can be described from various angles. One of the interesting ones is comparing their service on the same route.
