Emirates currently has over 20,000 SMEs in its Business Rewards programme. It offers simplified enrollment, easier earning and redemptions, greater flexibility on retaining and using points as well as upgrade opportunities, even on last-minute bookings. With countries easing their entry restrictions, business travel has begun accelerating, and SMEs have become key drivers of demand with the flexibility to make travel plans quickly as new opportunities emerge.
Meanwhile, Emirates said it is ramping up its operations and expanding services across its network to meet leisure travel demand during summer, as entry restrictions ease for travelers. The airline has been gradually and safely rebuilding its route network and advancing its strategy to optimize its presence in key markets to serve leisure and growing business travel demand. Emirates serves 115 global passenger destinations, and by July end, it will cover about 90% of its pre-pandemic network, operating 880 weekly services across 124 cities. Emirates will also boost its A380 network this summer, bringing its flagship experience to 15 cities on 129 weekly services. It plans to operate over 30 of its A380s to augment its 151 strong fleet of Boeing 777s.
