The Rise Of Emirates: A PIA Investment To Global Mega Airline

Emirates today is one of the largest and most well-connected airlines around, standing out with its impressive all-widebody fleet of A380s and 777s.

To reach this size, it has grown incredibly rapidly, having only been founded in 1985. Let’s take a look back at the founding, development, and rise of Emirates over the past 35 years.

Its still so unbelievable that an airline that gave birth to such a great airline is loosing its charm.

Its so wierd how a PIA literally raised emirates as one of the biggest national carriers and now emirates is one if the most biggest airlines in the world and PIA is like one of the lowest now. HOW THE TABLES TURNED!!!

PIA: "I have treated you like a father, be a son to me now" (line from the first Spider Man movie)
Emirates: Unfortunately, history will not see it that way

I always rate an airline based on how good its economy class is. And Emirates definitely has the best service in economy no doubt.

PIA made Emirates what it is today, and Now PIA is a laughing stock of an airline . Hope they can turn it around

Man I wish PIA can overcome their problems a lot of people ask them to fix their entertainment system but the ceo Arshad Malik said he wouldn’t

I flew Emirates business class from Dallas, TX, to Dubai in December 2016. Service was excellent. I love the free limo rides to and from the airports. I will definitely fly them on my next trip to Dubai.

Lucky to be trained by the instructors who trained Emirates first crew. AB4 and a 732 were offered by PIA, time changes. Things won’t stay the same. My wishes for everyone on this planet earth.

Flown with Emirates three times on six flights in the last 4 years. Always a quality experience, especially the 380.

PIA during that time was one of the best airline.

The story is that PIA had landing rights all over the Gulf, while Gulf Air was restricted to Karachi. Gulf AIr demanded rights to other cities in Pakistan or the Gulf states threatened to restrict PIA to one city. The government of Dubai promised general ZIa that they will not participate in the embargo if PIA agrees help Dubai launch it's own airline. We all know the rest.

I had the privilege of flying Emirates a couple of times. I am always impressed with their inflight services. With its continued success, the airline is still making impressive growth. So young, but an influential airline that redefined air travel.

Emirates should help PIA to get in their feet’s agian

My father was one of the first Sri Lankans to Fly Emirates when it began flights to Colombo in 1985. In 2018 my first ever flight with my own passport was with Emirates as well. Always and forever a fan of it and love its boarding music.
Long Love Emirates !

My first flight experience with Emirates was phenomenal! When I was a child (about 10 yrs) I had the opportunity to fly Emirates in Economy, and boy was that a experience! The In-Flight Entertainment was the best I have ever seen, they even shot some polaroids and put them in a sweet little card to remember our flight with Emirates! The food was decent, and the seats quite comfy. All in all, a very good flight I will never forget!

O PIA revive soon! We are proud of you ❤️🇵🇰🇵🇰

[PhilipShufflebotham]

The first time I flew Emirates out of London Gatwick flawlessly and on time just after a snowfall had gripped the UK. Our UK carrier, BA had been threatening flight cancellations due to weather. It later turned out that BA used the weather as an excuse to cover up a management v Staff/Pilot dispute. Bearing in mind the native climate of each respective country, that spoke volumes to me as a first time customer.

emirates EK stands for emirate karachi

It warms my heart to learn that Emirates always had a strong Indian presence right from its initial years. The few times I have flown them from India to North America, I have never had a bad experience which is far from the case for a few other foreign airlines I've flown. It's a testament to their service standards, it really does make DXB feel like home away from home. Even my 63yo Indian aunt always asks for Emirates if possible for her travel from India to the US.

[noumanimran]

Cool fact, EK in every flight number stands for Emirates to Karachi.
