In this annual report, we list a fleet of 46 aircraft, all of them Boeing 777s and Airbus A330s (with just one relatively small A310 remaining), with an average age of three years, serving 64 destinations and Emirates now among the five most profitable international passenger airlines in the world.

Looking ahead, in the year 2010 we forecast that Emirates will carry 29 million passengers and 1.5 million tonnes of cargo in 120 aircraft. That’s what Dubai does for you, with its visionary dynamism and its ideal location as the global air transport hub of the 21st century.
