In the past year, Emirates has significantly expanded its global reach, doubling the number of cities it offers beyond its own network, unlocking travel opportunities to nearly 1,700 additional cities. This expansion has enabled over 61,000 passengers to seamlessly connect on the shared networks of Emirates and its partners every week.

Emirates has achieved this growth by forging new partnerships and deepening existing ones across the transport ecosystem. The airline now collaborates with 162 partners, including 31 codeshare, 118 interline, and 13 rail and helicopter service partners, spanning over 100 countries. This extensive network provides travelers with enhanced connectivity, seamless single-ticket itineraries, improved baggage transfers, frequent flyer benefits, and lounge access, ensuring a smooth travel experience at every touchpoint.

For customers of partner airlines, popular destinations are more accessible through Emirates’ extensive network of over 140 destinations, offering seamless connectivity at Dubai International Airport (DXB) and industry-leading experiences both on the ground and in the air. In the last year alone, Emirates launched 16 new partnerships, including codeshares with Avianca and Batik Air Malaysia, and finalized interline agreements with airlines such as KAM Air, Sri Lankan Airlines, Condor, Flynas, and Kenya Airways.

Emirates has also expanded its connectivity options across Europe, offering fast connections with a single ticket through codeshare partnerships with Trenitalia, Renfe, Austrian Rail OBB, and Swedish Rail SJ. Additionally, Emirates became the first full-service carrier to partner with BLADE, providing helicopter flights between Nice and Monaco.

Adnan Kazim, Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer of Emirates Airline, highlighted the strategic importance of these partnerships: “In the last year, we’ve deepened our global presence and expanded our footprint across six continents by forging new partnerships with like-minded airlines, rail partners, and air mobility operators. While organic growth remains central to our strategy, we’ll continue to leverage our partners’ networks to help our customers reach every corner of the globe with ease.”

Over the years, Emirates’ partnerships have created robust networks, connecting customers to unique destinations while offering schedule optimization and reciprocal loyalty benefits. Key partnerships, such as the one with flydubai, exemplify how collaboration enhances customer journeys. Since 2017, more than 17.5 million passengers have connected through the joint networks of Emirates and flydubai.

Emirates continues to expand its global connectivity through strategic partnerships across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa, ensuring that its customers enjoy unmatched travel experiences and world-class benefits.
