International Airline company Emirates celebrated a recognition award. Sheikh Majid Al Mualla, Divisional Senior Vice President International Affairs at Emirates received the award at The Gulf Business Awards Ceremony held at the Palazzo Versace hotel that took place on 29th November 2023. The Awards showcase the region’s most prestigious recognition for businesses, brands, leaders, and entrepreneurs across industry verticals that range from banking, finance and investment, construction and real estate to healthcare, transport and logistics, technology, retail, and hospitality.
Nominees were evaluated and judged on criteria such as innovation, growth, financial results, product quality, service delivery, and corporate social responsibility. A judging panel of industry leaders then choose winners based on the votes received via public voting.

Today the airline serves twelve cities with the new Premium Economy product including London Heathrow, Sydney, Melbourne, Christchurch, Auckland, Singapore, Los Angeles, New York, Houston, San Francisco, Mumbai and Bengaluru.
