According to IATA’s latest World Air Transport Statistics 2021, Emirates was the largest international airline in 2020 carrying over 15.8 million passengers.

The airline currently has over 120 destinations with additional flights to be layered onto more than 20 Emirates routes by October.

More than 568,000 customers opted for the service, which enables passengers to skip queues at counters.
