The busiest summer season ever for Emirates, the biggest international airline in the world, saw it transport over 14 million passengers with an average seat fill factor of over 80% over its extensive worldwide network between June and August.
Travel demand is still strong despite economic challenges, demonstrating the continued value of global air connectivity for a variety of objectives.
During the summer months, Dubai draws two million visitors, demonstrating its continued popularity as a travel destination. The UK, India, Germany, Saudi Arabia, China, and other countries were important foreign markets for Dubai.
Over 35% of tourists were families, and they stayed for an average of more than two weeks to see the city’s attractions.
Emirates anticipates a rise in demand for travel to the city as a result of the events and conferences that Dubai will hold soon. Emirates ran almost 50,000 flights to and from 140 locations between June and August.
