At its Dubai International Airport hub, first-class passengers can enjoy passionfruit pavlova with Chantilly cream, while business class travelers have options like lemon Valentine's verbena cake.

Onboard, Emirates offers Rosé wine as a welcome drink and gifts of chocolate brownies and mini raspberry ganache tarts for first-class and business-class passengers.

Dirk Goovaerts from Swissport stated: "Our Flower Corridor is an important link in the overall cool supply chain for fresh flowers in Africa and Europe."

Swissport has invested in infrastructure improvements at its facilities to ensure optimal flower transportation conditions. These investments include high-speed vacuum cooling processes and additional loading bridges for pallets and containers.

Overall, both Emirates and Swissport contribute significantly to making Valentine's Day special by facilitating the global exchange of gifts and maintaining high standards of quality throughout their operations.
