Emirates – A Flight Of Fortune

The story of Emirates is no less fascinating each time it’s told – and it has been, many times around the world. Dubai’s quest to have its own international airline, the cheque for 10 million US dollars from Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the two leased aircraft and the small team that established an airline of the highest order.

Many still marvel at what Emirates has achieved in 28 years, since the first flight to Karachi took off on October 25th, 1985 from a relatively rudimentary Dubai airport.

Under the chairmanship of HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, it is a story of collective wisdom, forensic planning and the boldness to create an airline that would help create an inspiring modern city, snatched from the desert. The growth of Dubai and Emirates went hand in hand and they still do to this day.

With a fleet of more than 200 modern, wide-bodied aircraft, and two aircraft arriving every four weeks, the airline currently flies to over 140 destinations in six continents, from its international hub of Dubai.

Emirates’ standing is so much more than an airline. The company has evolved into a travel and tourism operation on a colossal scale, straddling numerous divisions and propelled forward under the umbrella of the Emirates Group.

The impressive portfolio includes Dubai’s household name of dnata, the successful supplier of air travel services, and many other entities, such as Emirates SkyCargo, Emirates Hotels & Resorts, Skywards and Emirates Aviation College. In all, there are more than 50 brands, employing over 68,000 people.
In the 2013/14 financial year, The Emirates Group has marked its 26th consecutive year of profit. Despite fundamental challenges, the Group’s revenue reached a record high, climbing to (US$ 23.9 billion) an increase of 13 per cent over last year’s results.
Wholly-owned by the government of Dubai, Emirates is often asked about the secret of its success. A passion to be the very best, innovation, a strong management team and astute cost consciousness are amongst the factors that have played an important role.
This approach has led to an array of product offerings such as the extremely popular onboard ice system, loaded with hundreds of entertainment channels on demand, and a host of industry firsts.

Sometimes rivals have accused Emirates of receiving subsidies. We wish that was the case, but the carrier receives no financial assistance from the government of Dubai and is subject to the same market forces as those who stand in awe. Despite this, and jostling in arguably the most competitive industry in the world, Emirates has enjoyed double digit profits for the past 26 years.

All Emirates’ frontline facilities, including the massive Emirates Engineering Centre are now equipped to handle the Airbus A380, 75 of which are on order. The airline’s total order book numbers 274 aircraft valued at over 135 billion US dollars – not bad for an airline that began with two leased aircraft – a Boeing 737 and an Airbus 300 B4.

We will continue to weave high quality training into the fabric of this potent brand and lead with indomitable energy and vision. We realise the world has grown to expect it.

Training and Consulting for the non hotel accommodations.

To invest in training is really important to meet challenges of the touristic area.

The problem is that there is none complete training courses, in which real useful information can be learnt by whose who are working in the non hotel accommodations area.

It is a problem we know very well. We began as non hotel accommodations businessmen and we had to face the same difficulties, finding out solutions on our own, without anyone helping or explaining how to resolve these questions.

From this experience, we had the idea of a project able to guide the non hotel accommodations businessmen in the development of their activities, wishing to compensate the lack of training courses.

While all the others teach theoretical knowledge, difficult to apply for real, thanks to Vivere di Turismo you can learn concrete solutions and obtain concrete results, having a high positive impact on your activity and on your life.
