Emirates Airline

Emirates’ “Fly Better” means the drive to innovate and be better.
This motto from Emirates has been incorporated into their daily operations to be able to deliver an air experience like no other.

I have traveled with Emirates since 2012 – and each time I fly with them my experience just gets better with each flight. They go above and beyond for their customers and their employees are just the friendliest. What they have been thriving on is having the youngest fleet in the industry. However, they also have a very diverse fleet and cater to passengers around the world.

Emirates has been taking up the social responsibility of making the most eco-friendly investments in their aircrafts by placing the most modern and eco-friendly technology in their planes. Also, on most flights, I have a donation envelope at my seat and any currency is accepted. This goes towards wildlife, environment, and other nonprofit organizations to help children around the world.

The company has found numerous ways which they are able to save fuel and be more efficient. When taking off for example, pilots use idle reverse thrust instead of using full reverse thrust. This means they switch off one engine while taxing. All these measures are put in place to help save fuel emission and cut down on noise.

Onboard long haul flights, Emirates blankets are made from 100% recyclable plastic and each blanket is made with 28 plastic bottles; this is an initiative to prevent plastic waste ending up in landfills. Emirates is based in Dubai and they practically have sun throughout the year, which gives them the opportunity to use sun energy at their hubs and energy saving products on top of that. Emirates has used 60% less energy electricity consumption each year.

I have some friends working for Emirates and I did some research. Other than being a globally recognized brand, Emirates gives their employees a range of discounted tickets to housing and even an accommodation allowance – but all of this depends on your seniority. So, the growth within the company is slow, based on time and performance. It makes it still very difficult to move up the ranks, which is something that needs to be changed. More of the young should be able to observe and to take on some of the senior position. Ethically, I think this is very old tradition that needs to change within business, since all seniors are seen as more capable or educated – the young should be more involved in these changes so the company can grow with the times.
