О компании Emirates
Emirates is the flag carrier of the United Arab Emirates, founded in 1985 by the Government of Dubai and grown over four decades into one of the largest long-haul international airlines in the world. The carrier is headquartered at Dubai International Airport (DXB), where it occupies the dedicated Terminal 3, and it operates a fleet of roughly 260 aircraft made up almost entirely of Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 widebodies, making Emirates the largest operator of both types. Emirates does not belong to a global alliance such as Star Alliance, Oneworld, or SkyTeam; instead, it runs codeshare and partnership arrangements with selected carriers, including its sister low-cost airline flydubai, Qantas, and several regional partners. For Georgian travelers, this means an Emirates ticket is essentially a self-contained product on Emirates metal, with no through-tickets onto Lufthansa or Air France style partners. From Tbilisi (TBS) Emirates operates non-stop service to Dubai, typically with a Boeing 777-300ER, which provides direct access to Emirates' global long-haul map. Through Dubai, Georgian travelers can connect on Emirates to long-haul destinations including New York (JFK) and other US cities, London Heathrow (LHR), Bangkok (BKK), Phuket (HKT), Bali (DPS), Male (MLE) in the Maldives, Sydney, Melbourne, Tokyo, and major African gateways. The long-haul market from Tbilisi to Asia and Australia is where Emirates is most directly competitive with Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways. The product onboard reflects Emirates' positioning as a premium long-haul carrier: economy seats include personal entertainment screens with the ice in-flight entertainment system that carries thousands of hours of content; meals are included on all flights and special meals can be pre-ordered; and the A380 in particular is a destination in itself for travelers who want to fly on the largest passenger aircraft in service. Business Class on the A380 includes a private bar at the rear of the upper deck and on the 777 includes lie-flat seating in a 2-3-2 or 1-2-1 configuration depending on the aircraft generation. First Class on selected aircraft adds private suites and an in-flight shower spa on the A380. Baggage allowance varies by fare class and route but is generally generous compared to low-cost alternatives: most economy fares include checked baggage based on weight (typically 20 to 35 kg total depending on fare and destination), Business adds 40 kg, and First adds 50 kg. Skywards is the airline's frequent flyer program; Georgian travelers who fly Emirates more than once or twice a year should enroll because miles can be redeemed for flydubai segments from Tbilisi as well. Online check-in opens 48 hours before departure on emirates.com and via the mobile app, with home check-in services available in Dubai and selected cities. FlyGE displays Emirates on every Tbilisi to Dubai search and on long-haul Tbilisi to Asia or Australia itineraries, which lets Georgian travelers weigh the Emirates premium product against the Star Alliance options on Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa. Round-trip economy pricing from Tbilisi to Dubai on Emirates typically runs higher than flydubai because of the included baggage, full onboard meal, and entertainment experience; the gap narrows once a checked bag and seat assignment are added to the flydubai fare. For long-haul trips from Tbilisi through Dubai to destinations such as Bangkok, Bali, the Maldives, or Sydney, the Emirates product is typically 80 to 150 USD more than a Turkish Airlines connection via Istanbul on the same dates, with the price gap reflecting the widebody seat product and lounge access for Emirates Business and First travelers. Emirates Skywards is the airline's loyalty program and partners closely with Qantas (a key codeshare relationship since 2013 covering Australia routes), JetBlue in the US, and South African Airways. Skywards miles can be earned and burned on these partners with through-checked itineraries, and a separate codeshare with flydubai mentioned in that entry allows Skywards status and miles to apply on most Tbilisi to Dubai flydubai segments. Because Emirates does not belong to Star Alliance, Oneworld, or SkyTeam, Georgian travelers who collect Lufthansa Miles+More or Turkish Miles&Smiles cannot credit Emirates segments to those accounts; the choice between Emirates and an alliance carrier is therefore partly a question of which loyalty program a traveler is building toward. Recent route announcements relevant to Georgian travelers include continued daily Tbilisi to Dubai service with capacity adjustments through 2025-26, addition of new Emirates destinations in China and Southeast Asia that improve onward options from Dubai, and the ongoing introduction of the new Emirates Premium Economy cabin on selected long-haul aircraft, which is gradually expanding to routes most relevant for Georgian leisure travelers. The Emirates A380 retirement timeline remains long, with the type expected to fly through the 2030s on selected high-density routes including London, Bangkok, and selected US gateways. Common service issues for Georgian travelers are limited: Emirates ranks consistently high on operational performance and customer service metrics, but Dubai weather (summer heat advisories, occasional winter fog) can produce DXB-wide delays that propagate through the network. Building 3 hours of layover at DXB when connecting to a Skywards onward flight is the safe practice for important onward commitments. Refund and change handling on Emirates is generally smooth, especially for Skywards Silver and above; for Blue (no-status) members, the call center can be slow during peak season, so making changes online through the manage booking portal is faster. Compared to flydubai on the Tbilisi to Dubai sector, Emirates includes meals, checked baggage, entertainment, and Skywards mile earning in a single fare; the cost is typically 30 to 80 USD higher than flydubai Economy Value all-in. Against Qatar Airways for long-haul leisure to Asia or Australia, Emirates and Qatar are direct competitors; Emirates A380 service to Bangkok, Sydney, and Melbourne is a draw for travelers who specifically want the largest aircraft, while Qatar's Qsuite Business product is often considered superior for premium travel. Against Turkish Airlines for long-haul connections, Emirates routes via Dubai are typically more direct for travelers heading to Australia, while Turkish via Istanbul retains an edge for North American gateways such as New York or Chicago.
