Emirates takes center stage at the 2023 ULTRA Awards, taking home two coveted awards. Crowned “The best airline in the world” and ““Best airline in the Middle East” – the world’s largest international airline won the votes of thousands of travelers around the world, thanks to its world-class products, unparalleled services and value-for-money offerings.
Thomas Ney, senior vice president of service delivery division at Emirates, collected the awards at a ceremony held yesterday in Dubai at the Nikki Beach Club. The ceremony was also attended by other notable guests and prominent members of the travel industry.
Adel Al Redha, Emirates Chief Operating Officer, commented:
“We are delighted to once again be recognized as one of the world’s best providers of luxury travel experiences. Emirates is known for always setting the bar high and last year was no exception. We launched 10 A380s from our modernization program with all-new cabin interiors and Premium Economy seats; and we expanded our global network to more than 140 destinations. We remain committed to continually introducing innovative solutions and products to enhance our customers’ journey. Thank you to our loyal customers for always choosing to fly better with us, and we look forward to raising the bar even higher!”
Nick Perry, president of Ultratravel, aggregate:
“As air travel among luxury travelers has returned strongly post-pandemic, competition at the top end of the market is continually increasing. The quality and quantity of options available to wealthy travelers is at an all-time high, so Emirates’ achievement of being voted the world’s best airline in 2023 is truly impressive. Emirates can be proud to maintain the first position for another year.”
Best-in-class travel experiences
Emirates continues to invest in product and service improvements to ensure customers have the best travel experience in the air and on the ground.

a concept that came to life in the airline’s brand advertising campaign featuring Hollywood actress Penelope Cruz.
