Emirates
Emirates is Dubai's flagship airline and one of the world's largest carriers, renowned for its premium cabins, global network, and Airbus A380 fleet.
What is Emirates?
Is Emirates down? Emirates is the largest airline in the Middle East and one of the most recognisable global aviation brands, founded in 1985 by the Dubai government with just two aircraft and grown to operate a fleet of over 250 wide-body aircraft. Flying to over 150 destinations across 80 countries, Emirates connects Dubai to the world through one of the most geographically comprehensive route networks in international aviation. Its signature product — the Emirates A380 first class suite with private shower — has made it a benchmark for premium air travel globally.
Emirates Skywards, the airline's loyalty programme, has tens of millions of members earning miles on flights and through extensive banking and hotel partnerships. The Emirates app enables booking management, check-in, boarding pass storage, and real-time flight information, and integrates with the airline's industry-leading inflight entertainment system IFE to allow pre-loading of entertainment preferences before boarding. Emirates operates one of the most modern aircraft fleets in the world, entirely composed of A380s and Boeing 777s, which supports both operational efficiency and in-flight connectivity.
Emirates digital outages affect travellers on long-haul international journeys where preparation and document management are especially important. Common symptoms include online check-in failing to complete, boarding passes not generating in the app, Skywards account access encountering errors, or flight booking and change requests not processing. Given that Emirates serves travellers connecting through Dubai from across the globe, outages affect a geographically diverse user base across many time zones simultaneously.
