Ahmad joined Emirates in 2003 and has moved several levels of hierarchy within the company, in countries such as Sri Lanka, Sudan, Jordan and Kenya. He was appointed the Vice President - India & Nepal in August 2012. In India, he is responsible for the airline’s expansion plans and its daily operations.
People are now flying more than ever and with the advent of social media, young travellers constantly want to share their experiences. Innovation has, thus, become the key to attracting customers. New and innovative technologies such as virtual reality, in-flight Wi-Fi, variety in cuisine, conveniences and facilities at the airports are some of the growing trends in the industry.
At Emirates, we ensure each stage of their journey is as exciting as the destination. When flying First Class or Business Class, travellers can book our complimentary chauffeur-drive service, in which luxury cars escort the traveller to and from the airport. We have inked partnerships with several luxury brands to bring a memorable experience to our guests as well.
For instance, the Emirates First Class and Business Class facilitates passengers with exclusive Bulgari amenity kits, which contain luxury skincare essentials including Bulgari’s floral woody fragrance, Eau Parfumée au Thé Blanc (white tea fragrance), to keep travellers feeling fresh and pampered.
