Emirates scoops 5 global accolades at ULTRA and APEX awards
Emirates has received an impressive five global and regional awards from two prestigious travel and aviation ceremonies in the past week, winning the titles of ‘Best Airline in the World’ and ‘Best Airline in the Middle East’ at the ULTRAs 2022 awards, and a further ‘World Class Award’, ‘5 Star Global Official Airline Rating’, and ‘Passenger Choice Award for Best Global Entertainment’ at APEX 2023 awards.
Based on a combination of certified passenger feedback and professional audits, Emirates was honoured with a ‘World Class Award’ for safety, well-being, sustainability, service, and inclusiveness, a ‘5 Star Global Official Airline Rating’ recognising all aspects of the global airline, and a ‘Passenger Choice Award for Best Global Entertainment’ for the best-in-class ice inflight entertainment system, at the APEX/IFSA expo in Long Beach, California on 26th October. APEX is one of the world’s largest international airline associations, hosting an annual industry awards ceremony since 2018.
Days later at the glittering ULTRAs 2022 award ceremony in the Pan Pacific London, Emirates was honoured with two top awards – ‘Best Airline in the World’ and ‘Best Airline in the Middle East.’ Emirates was highlighted for its industry-leading services, global network, and best-in-class travel experiences, at the ceremony on 31st October. The ULTRA awards are also decided by consumer votes, an international community of two million travellers who have recognised Emirates as the leading airline in the world for luxury travel.
Alongside many notable members in the travel industry, Sir Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline, attended the event and received the ULTRA’s awards in London, while Patrick Brannelly, SVP of Retail, IFE and Connectivity attended the APEX awards in California.
Commenting on the wins, Sir Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline, said, “We are very pleased to be recognised once again at the ULTRAs 2022 and APEX 2023 awards. These accolades reflect the hard work and commitment of our teams to make our brand promise – ‘fly better’ – a reality for customers worldwide. And it’s still full speed ahead at Emirates. We’ve made a multi-billion-dollar investment to entirely refit the interiors of over 120 aircraft, bring new menus on-board, and a host of other enhancements that will take Emirates’ signature experience to new heights. With a growing network of more than 130 destinations, Emirates will continue connecting the world in style and comfort, via our home and hub, Dubai.”
