Emirates has proudly supported the Emirates Western Force since its inception in July 2005 and will retain pride of place on the team’s ocean blue jersey until at least the end of the 2013 season.
A broad portfolio of sports sponsorships is extremely important to Emirates, allowing the airline to connect with its passengers by sharing and supporting their interests.
Emirates’ other major sports sponsorships in Australia currently include:
• Emirates Melbourne Cup Carnival
• Collingwood Football Club
• Australian Open Golf
• Australian PGA Championship
The airline is also the Principal Partner of the West Australian, Sydney and Melbourne Symphony Orchestras and supports a range of local charitable events and initiatives.
Not just a leader in its broad portfolio of sponsorships, Emirates has received more than 400 international awards for its unsurpassed levels of customer service since its launch in 1985.
Since commencing flights to Perth in 2002, demand for Emirates’ services has continued to grow with flights increasing from an initial four per week to a daily service in March 2003, and then to a double daily service in September 2006. In January 2008, Emirates welcomed aboard its one millionth passenger on the Perth to Dubai route.
In December 2010 Emirates introduced new Boeing 777-200LR aircraft to its Perth fleet. These aircraft feature the latest onboard products, including luxurious private suites in First Class, flat-beds in Business Class, spacious seating in Economy Class and a third generation inflight entertainment system with more than 1,200 channels to choose from.
Emirates continues to expand in Europe with the launch of new flights to Geneva, Copenhagen and St Petersburg in 2011. These additions bring Emirates’ European network to 28 cities, all conveniently reached from Perth via one stop in Dubai.
Globally Emirates operates flights to more than 110 destinations in over 65 countries across six continents.
