Emirates Wins Another Best International Airline Award

Emirates Recognized with Multiple Global Airline Awards

Emirates received several international awards this month, including recognition from the Forbes Travel Guide Verified Air Travel Awards, the World Travel Awards, The Times and Sunday Times Travel Awards, and the Condé Nast Readers’ Choice Awards.

For the second year in a row, Emirates has been named the Best International Airline by Forbes Travel Guide. This recognition is based on feedback from frequent travelers, luxury advisors, and Forbes inspectors. The airline has been praised for its ongoing efforts to enhance the passenger experience. Notable initiatives include the introduction of a new check-in area specifically for First Class and Skywards Platinum members, and being the first autism-certified airline with trained crew and ground staff.

At The Times and Sunday Times Travel Awards 2025, Emirates was named Best Long-Haul Airline, with readers noting its service, First Class suites, and its expanding global network, which recently added destinations such as Shenzhen and Siem Reap.

Emirates also achieved a score of 87.86 in the Condé Nast Readers’ Choice Awards Best Airline Category and was named the Middle East’s Leading Airline Brand at the World Travel Awards 2025.

At the Forbes Travel Guide Awards, Emirates’ First Class on the Boeing 777-300ER was recognized for its private suites, comfortable seating, exceptional dining, and ground services, which include chauffeured transfers and lounge access. Additionally, its First Class Lounge in Dubai was awarded the title of Best International Airline Lounge, praised for its variety of dining options, relaxation areas, spa treatments, and direct boarding access.

These recognitions follow several earlier 2025 honours, including Best Long-Haul Airline at The Telegraph Travel Awards, Most Recommended Global Brand by YouGov, and multiple titles at the Business Traveller Middle East Awards for service and product excellence across classes. Emirates Skywards was also named Best Global Airline Loyalty Program at the International Loyalty Awards 2025.
