Emirates is the world's largest international airline, flying to 158 destinations in 85 countries. Emirates operates 269 aircraft and is the world's largest operator of the Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 family of aircraft.

Emirates is one of the world's most expansive airlines, currently serving over 150 destinations across six continents from its central hub at Dubai International Airport (DXB). In 2026, the airline has continued to expand its reach, recently adding or increasing flights to major hubs like London Gatwick, Nairobi, Beijing, and Cape Town. Emirates is unique because it operates an "all-widebody" fleet consisting exclusively of Airbus A380s and Boeing 777s (with the new Airbus A350 joining the fleet in 2025/2026), allowing it to fly long-haul to almost every major global city. While it does not fly to every small regional airport, it uses a vast network of "codeshare" partnerships—most notably with United Airlines, Air Canada, and Qantas—to allow passengers to book a single ticket to virtually "anywhere" in the world with a connection. Its 2026 route map includes new year-round service to Helsinki and expanded options across South and Southeast Asia.
