Emirates has marked a decade of operations at Orlando International Airport, highlighting its role in connecting the Florida city to global destinations. Since launching service to Orlando ten years ago, the airline reports that it has carried more than 1.1 million passengers on over 4,700 flights.
The airline’s activities have not been limited to passenger transport. Emirates states it has also moved more than 14,000 tonnes of cargo through Orlando International Airport over this period, contributing to trade and economic development by facilitating imports and exports for local businesses.
Matthew Jones, Vice President-USA at Emirates, commented on the milestone: “It has been a phenomenal decade of connecting Orlando to the world. In the US we proudly serve 12 gateways with Orlando being one of our busiest, being the fourth most visited city in the nation. We are proud to have served as a catalyst for the growth of the local tourism and cargo industry. We would like to thank Orlando International Airport for their long-standing partnership and ongoing support in managing our operations and assisting our passengers.”
