Emirates wins Transport & Logistics Company of the Year

eNethersole — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 14:24:06 +0000

The win is evaluated on the best experiences in the sky and on the ground, across every cabin class.

Nominees are evaluated and judged on criteria such as innovation, growth, financial results, product quality, service delivery, and corporate social responsibility. A judging panel of industry leaders then choose winners based on the votes received via public voting.

Emirates has had a bumper year of ramping up the rollout of its highly popular Premium Economy cabins as part of its US$2 billion investment in cabin and service enhancements. Today the airline serves twelve cities with the new Premium Economy product including London Heathrow, Sydney, Melbourne, Christchurch, Auckland, Singapore, Los Angeles, New York, Houston, San Francisco, Mumbai and Bengaluru. By the end of this year the list will grow to 14 cities with the addition of Tokyo Narita and Sao Paulo from 20 December.

The airline is also investing in its future fleet to ensure the very best experience for customers and power stronger network connections. At the Dubai Airshow, Emirates made a commitment for an additional 90 Boeing 777-9s, 777-8s, and 5 787s, worth US$ 52 billion and 15 additional Airbus A350-900s, worth US$ 6 billion.

On the ground, Emirates has been streamlining the airport experience enabled by technology like biometrics, eliminating the need for travel documents like boarding passes and passports.

Sir Tim Clark was also honoured with Transport & Logistics Business Leader of the Year and Business Leader of the Year at the Gulf Business awards. T

The awards recognise leaders who have demonstrated significant contributions to the growth of their respective industries and organisations. Clark has served as an Emirates leader from the very outset of the airline’s humble beginnings as part of a small management team of 10 people. Since then he has steered the airline through some of its biggest challenges, helping grow Emirates into the world’s largest international airline renowned for its outstanding products and services.

Clark said: “Being awarded this accolade is a true team effort of Emirates’ management, and the many thousands of people that have come through our organisation over the last 38 years who have built it into the airline it is today, in an amazing country and city, the UAE and Dubai. Emirates is a brand that has harnessed itself to Dubai, and with the drive and visionary leadership of this country, we hope that the brand continues to propel itself and Dubai even further.”

ATM 2024 to showcase latest trends in luxury travel

eNethersole — Wed, 29 Nov 2023 10:51:02 +0000

Tourism experts from around the globe will shine a spotlight on the sub-theme of luxury at Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2024, which will take place from Monday 6 to Thursday 9 May at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).

High-spending travellers are willing to pay extra for experiences that do not detrimentally impact the communities or ecosystems in which they are located, according to YouGov’s Global travel & tourism whitepaper 2023: Luxury travel post-pandemic. More than three-fifths (61%) of UAE residents say they are willing to pay a premium for responsible, eco-friendly and sustainable tourism experiences, demonstrating that consumers no longer see the luxury segment as being limited to indulgence.

With brands such as Kerzner International’s Atlantis The Palm, Mandarin Oriental Dubai (BVI) Limited, Jumeirah International LLC, Air Charter Service, Hyatt International, Mayfair Jets, Minor Hotel Group, Nirvana Holding, The Leading Hotels of the World and Desert Gate Tourism having already confirmed their attendance, ATM 2024 will welcome a diverse selection of luxury travel exhibitors from across the Middle East and beyond. The exhibition will provide an ideal forum for attendees from every corner of the globe to explore the shifting landscape of luxury travel, including future trends and innovations, entrepreneurial drivers and opportunities for growth.

Danielle Curtis, exhibition director, Arabian Travel Market, said: “By incorporating luxury travel as a sub-theme at ATM 2024, we are aligning our event with the future of travel. This segment will act as a lens through which we can view not only extravagant experiences but also eco-conscious choices, cultural preservation, and cutting-edge technologies. ATM embodies a vision where indulgence harmonises with ethics, setting a new standard for the travel industry.”

The value of the global luxury travel sector stood at an estimated $1.28 trillion in 2022, according to figures from Grand View Research. The market is expected to witness a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7% during the period 2023-30. This upward trend is reflected in the Middle East, where the majority of respondents from both the UAE (74%) and KSA (69%) told researchers from Marriott Bonvoy that they were planning to spend more on their vacations in 2023 compared to previous years.

Innovation is also acting as a major driver within the luxury travel segment. Technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are revolutionising the way visitors preview destinations, hotels and activities before booking, while artificial intelligence (AI) and big data are facilitating increasingly personalised recommendations, tailored experiences and anticipatory services for high-net-worth travellers.

“The Middle East has maintained and strengthened its reputation as a global hub for luxury tourism and travel over the past 12 months,” Curtis added. “It has been exciting to see this segment evolve throughout the region as national leaders have continued to invest in the development of luxury tourism infrastructure in a bid to drive economic diversification. ATM 2024 will provide an environment in which to examine these trends in greater detail, and I cannot wait to hear what valuable insights delegates have to offer.”

In line with its theme, ‘Empowering Innovation: Transforming Travel Through Entrepreneurship’, the 31st edition of ATM will once again host policymakers, industry leaders and travel professionals from across the Middle East and beyond, encouraging them to forge new relationships, exchange knowledge and identify innovations that can reshape the future of global travel and tourism. From startups to established brands, the upcoming show will highlight how innovators enhance customer experiences, drive efficiencies, and accelerate progress towards a net-zero future for the industry.

Building on ATM 2023’s ‘Working Towards Net Zero’ theme, environmentally responsible travel will represent another key focus next year. Informed by the UAE’s Year of Sustainability and the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28), which will take place in Dubai from tomorrow 30 November, ATM 2024 will explore how innovation can be leveraged to help achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), creating a greener travel and tourism sector for future generations.

More than 40,000 travel trade professionals, including 30,000 visitors, attended the 30th edition of ATM in May 2023, setting a new show record. The exhibition attracted more than 2,100 exhibitors and representatives from over 155 countries, providing a global platform for unveiling ATM’s net-zero pledge.

Held in conjunction with Dubai World Trade Centre, ATM 2024’s strategic partners include Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), Destination Partner; Emirates, Official Airline Partner; IHG Hotels & Resorts, Official Hotel Partner; and Al Rais Travel, Official DMC Partner.

Dubai hosts AFM Global Pilot Training Organisation Leadership Summit

eNethersole — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 17:59:41 +0000

The event brings together over 50 of the world’s leading flight training organisation owners and chief executive officers.

The industry leaders together operate a combined training fleet of over 1,086 aircraft and are currently training over 8,000 pilots per year.

The summit held at the pilot training facilities of Emirates Flight Training Academy (EFTA), saw the industry leaders engage in panel discussions to enhance the industry's response to the growing demand for pilots. As the airline industry rapidly recovered in 2022 and 2023 the flight training industry has been slower to recover and is facing numerous challenges in the scaling up of training operations to meet the demand for pilots.

Maximilian Buerger, managing director of AFM.aero, said: “Our mission is to connect the global pilot training stakeholders similar to how the airline industry and Dubai have connected the world! AFM shares, on a weekly basis, pilot training industry relevant developments with over 16,000 stakeholders including over 400 airlines. We wanted to use our knowledge and network to host this summit and support the industry in scaling training operations to meet the growing demand for pilots. Due to the geographical diverse global attendance of industry leaders, the phenomenal summit venue at Emirates Flight Training Academy, and fantastic partners this summit provided the ideal platform for attendees to share knowledge and enhance collaboration within the industry. I would like to thank Capt. Abdulla Al Hammadi, the Emirates Flight Training Academy Team, Mark Kammer, and the Dynamic Advanced Training Team for their support in making this event happen – the world’s most global meeting of pilot training industry leaders.”

Capt. Abdulla Al Hammadi, Divisional Vice President Emirates Flight Training Academy, added: "This is the second edition and was another great opportunity to host this event at Emirates Flight Training Academy during the 2023 Dubai Airshow in collaboration with AFM. We constantly and closely monitor industry trends and it’s strikingly clear that the pilot shortage is increasing at a higher rate than the training industry can support.”

“Our aim at this summit is to share information and discuss the challenges we anticipate for the future of the pilot training industry. We believe that by working together, we can collectively tackle the global pilot shortage to produce better skilled pilots and, in turn, safer skies. A major challenge is finding well qualified, experienced flight and ground instructors who are able to support the younger generations as they make that journey towards the right-hand seat of a commercial aircraft.” Shared Capt. Al Hammadi.

Mark Kammer, Director of Operations at Dynamic Advanced Training, commented: “Dynamic Advanced Training is honoured to be working hand-in-hand with AFM.aero to facilitate the pilot training industry’s networking event. As a UAE grown aviation training organisation and part of the Khansaheb Investment Group, we are especially proud that Dynamic’s cutting-edge facility located in Mohammed bin Rashid Aerospace Hub at Dubai South will serve as a networking platform and allow us the opportunity to demonstrate reality-based training to a wider audience.”

eNethersole — Fri, 24 Nov 2023 15:12:28 +0000

The event is taking place between 30 November to 12 December 2023, under the slogan ‘Space for Sustainability’.

Her Excellency Sarah Al Amiri, Minister of State for Public Education and Advanced Technology and Chairperson of UAE Space Agency, said: “At a time when we are facing unprecedented challenges due to climate change, the space sector is emerging as a vital tool to monitor and understand these changes using advanced technologies in space exploration. This helps us in developing effective strategies to combat the effects of climate change and provide sustainable solutions to the environmental challenges we face.”

The summit will focus on enhancing data sharing between established and emerging space nations, strengthening climate research by allocating resources and funding towards climate research initiatives within the space sector, supporting climate monitoring initiatives by establishing new programs, and promoting sustainable space operations by minimizing the environmental impact of space operations.

It will also raise awareness about climate change and the role of space-based technologies in addressing it, showcase innovative technological solutions, promote entrepreneurship in the space sector, encourage private sector investment in space-climate programs, and explore opportunities for funding and financing of space-climate initiatives.

“Space for Sustainability” Conference

The UAE Space Agency is also set to host the "Space for Sustainability" conference at the Space Pavilion. This global gathering, attended by leaders, climate experts, and space agency representatives, will spotlight the immense potential of space technology in combating climate change. Featuring vital presentations and dialogue sessions, the event will explore how space innovations can drive sustainable solutions for our planet's future.

The conference will feature multiple keynote speeches and panel sessions. Representatives of international space agencies will shed light on a wide range of topics, such as climate resilience and ecosystem monitoring, and improving disaster risk knowledge and climate resilience with innovation and space technology. The conference will also include a series of presentations and more than 60 dialogue sessions focusing on the use of satellite data, space technology for sustainability, mitigation and adaptation to climate change, the latest sustainable technologies and initiatives in the space sector.
