Clean sweep for Emirates at Leading Travel Awards

Emirates achieved an unprecedented clean sweep at the annual Irish Travel Industry Awards, winning all four categories in which it was nominated.

  • Airline of the Year – Best Long haul
  • Airline of the Year – Best Business Class
  • Airline Trade Team of the Year
  • Sustainable Travel Company of the Year

Anita Thomas, Emirates Country Manager for Ireland joined her team in celebrating the win at Dublin’s Mansion House and said: “To be recognised by our peers in the travel industry is a huge honour, and I’m thrilled to accept these awards on behalf of both the airline, and my team.  We are committed to providing exceptional travel experiences to our customers, and these awards inspire us to continue raising the bar.”

The multiple-award achievement highlights Emirates’ leadership in the aviation industry, particularly in terms of passenger experience. Customers travelling with Emirates enjoy the warm hospitality of the airline’s multinational crew, regionally inspired meals, and award-winning inflight entertainment system that offers up to 6,500 channels of the best movies, TV shows, podcasts and more. Passengers travelling in Business and First Class also experience an essence of Ireland onboard with VOYA bathroom amenities, Keogh’s Crisps and Killowen yogurt.

Emirates boosted its operations in Ireland last year adding a third daily service to the Dublin – Dubai route for the busy October to March period.  The airline also launched its retrofitted Boeing 777 in Ireland, with stylish interiors and new, award-winning Premium Economy cabin, together with the latest Business Class experience.

The Irish Travel Industry Awards bring together the travel industry’s leading figures to celebrate and showcase excellence in the delivery of travel services to both leisure and business customers.
