LE MUTUZ NATION THE SUMMARIZATION OF MY DUBAI'S 4 DAYS TRIP SPONSORED BY EMIRATES AIRLINES MARCH 8-12 LIVE!!

During the mid-1980s, Gulf Air began to cut back its services to Dubai as it was concerned it was providing regional feeder flights for other carriers. As a result, Emirates was conceived in March 1985 with backing from Dubai's Royal Family and was required to operate independent of government subsides, apart from US$10 million in start-up capital. In the mid-1980s, Pakistan International Airlines played a large role in establishing the Emirates airline by providing technical and administrative assistance to the new carrier as well as leasing a new Boeing 737-300 and an Airbus A 300B4 - 200^. The Royal Family's Dubai Royal Air Wing  also provided the airline with two used Boeing 727-200. The airline's first flight, flight EK600, was Dubai–Karachi on 25 October 1985.

By 1986, the airline had added new destinations such as Colombo, Amman, to Cairo  to its route network. In 1987 a second Boeing 727 was purchased from the Dubai Government and an A300 was temporarily replaced by a second example from Kuwait Airlines  . On 3 July, Emirates received its first bought aircraft, an Airbus A310 (registration A6-EKA), and  launched daily non stop services to London July 1987. The airline in 1987 added Frankfurt   . By the end of 1987, Emirates was serving 11 destinations. This was followed by an expansion into the Far East market in 1985, with flights to Bangkok, Manila ans Singapore and Hongkong 1991. During the first decade of operations, Emirates recorded strong growths averaging 30%.

By the early 1990s, Emirates was among the world's fastest growing airlines; revenue increased approximately US$100 million each year, approaching US$500 million in the year 1993. The airline carried 1.6 Million passengers and 68,000 tons of cargo in the same year. With the onset of the Gulf War, business increased for Emirates as the war kept other airlines out of the area; it was the only airline to continue flying in the last ten days of the war. Following the conflicts, a total of 92 air carriers were flying to markets internationally and Emirates faced intense competition at its home base. It carried about three million passengers a year to Dubai International Airport in the mid-1990s. Emirates continued to expand during the late 1990s. The growing cargo business accounted for 16 percent of the airline's total revenues.Emirates started offering round-the-world services from autumn 1993, after a partnership was established US with Airways.
By 1995, the airline expanded the fleet to six Airbus A300s and eight Airbus A310s and built the network up to cover 37 destinations in 30 countries. In 1996, the airline received its first Boeing 777–200 aircraft, and was followed shortly thereafter by six Boeing 777-200ERs. The arrival of the 777s allowed Emirates to continue its Singapore service onward to Melbourne commencing in 1996 which would become a very profitable route for Emirates and would see new destinations added in Australia. In 1998, Emirates Sky Cargo was launched. Although the Emirates had always provided a cargo service using capacity within its passenger aircraft.

In 2000, Emirates placed an order for twenty five Boeing 777-300s, eight Airbus A340-500s, three Airbus A330-200s and twenty-two of the double-deck A380. Their member group, Skywards, was also launched in 2000 as the airline grew. Towards the end of the year, Emirates was planning to start long-haul services to the East Coast and West Coast of the USA, as well as non-stop flights to Australia and Brazil.  During 2002, Emirates passenger figures increased 18% to over 6.8 million against the previous year.

In 2007, Emirates made an order worth over $34.9 billion. The airline signed contracts for 120 Airbus A350s, 11 A380s and 12 Boeing 777-300ERs. By opening flights to São Paulo in 2007, Emirates began the first non-stop flight between the Middle East and South America; it also began operations of its $120 million Flight Catering Centre at Dubai Airport.
In 2009, Emirates became the world’s largest operator of the Boeing 777 with the delivery of the 78th plane. In 2010, at the  the airline placed an order for 30 Boeing 777s, worth $9.1 billion, bringing total spending for aircraft in the year to over $25 billion In 2011, at the Dubai Airshow, Emirates placed another order for another 50 777s, worth about $18 billion.

Emirates announced an order in April 2000 for the Airbus A3XX Airbus 380, the largest widebody airliner ever built. The deal consisted of five Airbus A 380s and two Airbus A380Fs. The deal was confirmed on 4 November 2001, when Emirates announced orders for 15 more A380-800s. An additional order 21 A380-800s was placed two years later. In April 2006, Emirates replaced its order for the two freighter variants with an order for two A380-800s. In 2007, Emirates ordered 15 A380-800s, bringing the total number ordered to 58.

In the financial year 2014–15, Emirates generated revenues of around AED 89 billion ($24.2 billion), which represented an increase of approximately 7.5% over the previous year's revenues of AED 83 billion. Passenger numbers also increased from 44.5 million to 49.2 million over the same period representing an increase of around 11%. Passenger seat factor increased by 0.2% to 79.6%. Cargo carried in 2014-15 also improved, by 5.6% to 2.4 million tonnes (2014–15: 2.25 million tonnes). The airline's profits for the 2014/15 fiscal year rose by 38.3% to AED 5,893 million ($1.25 billion) on the back of the lower oil prices and strong US dollar, although the 80 day runway closure at Dubai International negatively affected results.
Its parent company saw profit up 34% to $1.5 billion for the year to 31 March.

By 2015 the airline was the Seventh-largest airline in the world in terms of international passengers carried, and the largest in the world in terms of scheduled international passenger-kilometers flown. It is also the Seventh-largest  in terms of scheduled freight tonne-kilometres flown (sixth in scheduled international freight tonne-kilometres flown).

Emirates is the official global sponsor of English Premier League Club Arsenaln with shirt and naming rights of Arsenal's Emirates Stadium.

Emirates operates over 3,000 flights every week across its network of over 160 destinations in over 70 countries across six continents from its hub in Dubai. Several new destinations are added each year. On July 9, 2014, the airline finalized a $56 billion order to procure 150 Boeing 777X jets, following a commitment made at the 2013 Dubai Airshow. Production of the 777X is scheduled to commence in 2017, with deliveries targeted for 2020. Including the 115 777-9Xs and 35 777-8Xs finalized on July 9, 2014, the airline has 208 Boeing 777s pending delivery. On February 1st, last Emirates launched Panama City which is the longest non-stop flight in the world for 17hours and 35 minutes in the Westbound direction and the first Emirates gateway destination in Central America.
