Emirates awarded a Five-Star Global Airline Official Airline Rating
Emirates has clinched its third consecutive award for Best Entertainment at the 2020 Passenger Choice Awards held during the APEX EXPO in Los Angeles, USA on Monday. The airline was also given a Five-Star Global Airline Official Airline Rating, the highest rating in the first airline rating program based solely on verified and certified passenger feedback.
Emirates’ winning streak has been due to its continual innovations in inflight entertainment, setting the benchmark for customer experience.

Today, Emirates provides one of the most comprehensive and state-of-the-art entertainment and communications services in the skies. ice, its award-winning inflight entertainment system, now offers over 4,500 channels of entertainment, including well over 1000 world movies – more than any other airline. Customers across all classes are treated to the largest screens in the industry for each cabin at 13.3 inches for Economy Class, 23 inches for Business Class and 32 inches in First Class.
In addition to the unmatched variety of content, Emirates has also been investing to provide connectivity and Live TV for its customers.
