Emirates Expands Its Reach in Latin America with ALTA Partnership
Emirates is excited to announce its recent partnership with ALTA, the Latin American & Caribbean Air Transport Association. This collaboration significantly enhances Emirates' network by providing access to nearly 200 cities across the Americas. Committed to delivering exceptional service, Emirates aims to offer even more convenient travel connections through this strategic partnership.
As part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen its presence in Latin America, Emirates’ membership in ALTA plays a vital role in reaffirming its commitment to the region. The airline has been serving customers in Brazil since 2007 and further expanded into Latin America by launching flight services to Mexico City in 2019. Emirates’ presence in the Americas is bolstered by more than 100 weekly flights to North America, connecting Dubai with major cities such as Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto. In total, Emirates provides over 43,800 seats in each direction across its North American destinations.
Emirates' dedication to offering world-class service and expanding its global footprint is evident in this new partnership. By joining ALTA, Emirates strengthens its ability to provide customers with seamless travel experiences across Latin America.
Since becoming an ALTA member in late 2018, Emirates has further reinforced its standing as a major player in the aviation industry. As the flag carrier airline of the United Arab Emirates, Emirates operates from its main hub at Dubai International Airport. Established in 1985 with just two aircraft, the airline has since grown to become the world's largest airline, boasting a fleet of over 250 aircraft. Today, Emirates flies to more than 140 destinations across six continents.
With its extensive network and ALTA membership, Emirates is poised to offer even more exclusive flight deals and discounts to its customers, ensuring an enhanced travel experience. As the airline continues to expand its global reach, this partnership marks yet another milestone in its journey of excellence and innovation.
