Emirates is looked upon as an innovative organisation in terms of tech due to its acquition of the ground breaking storage infrastructure in mkiddle east. Developments in aircraft and fuel will continue to help reduce the environmental impact of our operations. Our flight operations include the most up-to-date techniques for saving fuel and emissionsfor example flextrack. Emirates has invested in one of the best flight planning systems available, to carefully plan flights and optimise routes. By working with our partners at Airservices Australia (ASA) to use non-fixed (flexible) air traffic routes that are optimised for the prevailing weather, we save time, fuel and emissions – every day.
Strategic alliance: alliance with qantas airways to set up and brand itself in far countries like australia and new zeland. It also has partenership withqatar airways. Quantas shifted its european flights hub from singapore to dubai. Due to this emirates got new passengers and got access to australian destinations.

1990s
2015
2016:Emirates Airline has launched what it is claiming is a 'world-first' programmatic campaign, which dynamically targets users based on their previous search behaviour. The search-based video push follows an analysis by Captify of over 10 billion searches from over 1.4 billion users. The search specialist was then able to identify pools of users who showed interest in flying with Emirates as well as different types of travellers.
The data drilled down the attributes of travel experiences that matter the most to them, such as service on board, free Wi-Fi and kids entertainment options. From there these interests were turned into two interactive videos, created by Innovid, to dynamically portray the messages based on the various interests of the end user.
Employees:Emirates introduced a new design in August 2008 for its 16,000 uniformed staff, designed by Simon Jersey. The offboard uniform includes the Emirates hat, red kick-pleats in the skirts, more fitted blouses and the return of red leather shoes and handbags. For the onboard uniform, male and female cabin crew wear service waistcoats in place of the previously worn service jackets and tabards. The male flight attendants wear a chocolate brown suit, featuring pinstripes, with a cream shirt and a caramel, honey and red tie. Both male and female pursers wear this chocolate brown color, but with no red featured.[95]
Profit now being split 3 ways between etihad, gulf and emirates. They are not paying attention to benefits being reaped by airlines due to open air policy
Massively acquired and inflated fleet. Due to unrest in middle east international fliers are now avoiding dubai as their connecting point. And due to drop in fuel prices people are undergoing recession. So in order to fill the plane they have to slash the prices and bear losses
Quality flying experience at competitive price: mn employees, new latest fleet
Weakness in strategy: overlooking competition due to open skies policy, oversize fleet
Weakness in strategy: overlooking competition due to open skies policy, oversize fleet
Summarize all of the topics
Fuel prices:
Losses more due to falling fuel prices. As thry have to reduce prices and the local fliers based on oil economy also cuts flying experience. So in order to stay in competition they have to slash the prices which in the end leads to losses
