Emirates offers a unique service to transport luxury cars safely and securely worldwide. The process includes handling all necessary documentation, insurance, and customs clearance. Other airlines offer this service, such as Etihad and ANA, but Emirates' White Glove Service stands out.

With the largest fleet of Airbus A380s on the planet, Emirates is known worldwide as an airline that has revolutionized travel and contributed significantly to Dubai's economy. Emirates serves 137 destinations globally and is one of two flag carriers in the United Arab Emirates, with Etihad being the other based in Abu Dhabi. From its hub at Dubai International Airport (DXB), the carrier is owned by the Investment Corporation of Dubai, which is owned by the Dubai government.

It remains the largest airline in the Middle East, operating over 3,600 flights a week from Terminal 3 at DXB with a fleet of nearly 300 aircraft. In addition to passenger services, it has a growing cargo arm undertaken by Emirates SkyCargo.

"Usually, as you sit on the plane or in the terminal watching the ground crew load the cargo onto the aircraft," an observer noted, "suitcases, musical instruments, and sports gear wouldn't be overly surprising." However, seeing luxury cars like Porsche or Maserati being boarded into an aircraft might be unexpected.

Emirates offers its expertise to transport luxury or supercars safely anywhere within its network. It also provides an exclusive package to destinations including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and the United States that covers all required permits, insurance, and documentation.

The airline promises reliable airport-to-airport service with features such as specialized equipment for transportation and white glove handling. Customers can request a car booking via email at skycargodxb@emirates.com. Once confirmed, specialists will manage all necessary airport security checks and hazardous goods pre-checks before transporting vehicles to their final destination.

"The Dubai-based carrier will take care of all necessary documentation," ensuring smooth transit from pickup to delivery. On arrival at your final destination, Emirates facilitates import formalities and delivers cars to preferred addresses.

A video on YouTube by influencer Mr JWW showcased this process extensively. The White Glove Service is designed primarily for vehicles departing from Dubai but can accommodate similar features for other international ports.

Etihad Airways offers a comparable service called FlightValet from Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH) to global destinations. "The airline's website states that it carries 'hundreds' of cars every year," adding that customers can earn Etihad Guest miles for their car's travels.

Japanese carrier All Nippon Airways (ANA) also provides vehicle transportation services but with a more limited network compared to its Middle Eastern counterparts. ANA advertises vehicle transport across various destinations in China, Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan as well as Chicago O'Hare through partner cargo airlines on select dates.
