Emirates is marking a quarter-century of service to Sydney, celebrating its inaugural flight to the city in March 2000. The airline, known as the largest international carrier globally, began with four weekly flights via Singapore and has since expanded to offer three daily direct flights connecting Sydney and Dubai.
Throughout these years, Emirates has transported over nine million passengers on more than 35,000 flights between Sydney and various global destinations. The airline's fleet of A380 aircraft operates these routes, linking travelers to cities such as London, Manchester, Barcelona, and more.
A significant milestone in Emirates' history was the launch of its service between Dubai and Christchurch via Sydney in August 2003. This route eventually saw the introduction of the A380 in October 2016. In February 2006, Emirates opened a lounge at Sydney Airport for First Class and Business Class passengers.
