Emirates bags award from US magazine

Vimala Vasan

ABU DHABI, Feb. 17

DUBAI's Emirates Airline, which starts services to and from North America next spring, has won a major award from a top US aviation magazine.

Air Transport World honoured the fast-growing international carrier with the "Passenger Service Airline of the Year" award at the 29th annual airline achievement awards dinner at Washington's Capital Hilton Hotel.

Emirates SkyCargo also won a silver award for corporate advertising, the airline said in a statement. Mr Jay Donoghue, ATW's Editorial Director, said: "Emirates is entering the US market with top marks for worldwide recognition. This honour, not necessarily given annually, is awarded only when it is truly deserved. In 2004, Emirates will launch daily non-stop services between New York and its Dubai home base, and plans to fly to other North American cities soon afterwards. Emirates had previously won the same award in 1992.

It won again this year for delivering top quality standards to passengers in all classes of service. The award, one of the aviation industry's most highly-respected honours, reflects Emirates' reputation among frequent international flyers as a leader in in-flight luxury, comfort and safety.
