In medical and wellness travel, an agreement with the Medical Tourism Association positions Emirates as the preferred airline for longevity and wellness travel alongside traditional medical travel. In sports, a partnership with Cutting Edge will build travel packages for fans attending major fixtures across cricket, football, motorsport, golf, tennis and more.

Further agreements with the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration, the Finnish and Vietnamese Business Councils, Huawei, Dubai Duty Free, Alibaba Fliggy, DERTOUR Group, Emirates Islamic and Al Etihad Payments to bring Jaywan to Emirates bookings, extended the airline's reach across distinct communities and channels. Emirates and Kuwait Airways also signed to expand their interline partnership into a reciprocal codeshare.

At the 2026 World Travel Awards Middle East, Emirates received four honours: Middle East’s Leading Airline – First Class 2026; Middle East’s Leading Airline Brand 2026; Middle East’s Leading Airline Lounge – First Class 2026; and Middle East’s Leading Airline Rewards Programme 2026.

These recognitions underscore Emirates’ continued focus on product innovation, customer experience and connectivity, as the airline continues to work to further elevate its onboard and onground experiences. Emirates has experienced a strong recovery in demand following earlier disruption and is now operating at approximately 93% of its pre-disruption capacity. Against this backdrop, discussions at the event also reflected the broader outlook for Dubai’s tourism and aviation ecosystem.
