Emirates Airline passengers travelling with infants through Dubai International Airport will now enjoy added convenience and comfort, with the introduction of a new complimentary baby pushchair service.

Emirates Airline posted record-breaking net profits of $708 million for 2005, a 49 percent increase over the previous year as it carried 12.5 million passengers across the globe.

Now it’s official: Emirates’ amenity kits do have it all -sleekest lines, highest quality leather and lather, and top-of-the-range items from colognes and scents to balms, lotions, moisturisers, combs, dental and shaving kits - and are the best in the skies, according to Global Traveler, the leading U.S. travel magazine.

Emirates rolled out its new global electronic ticketing system last week, ushering in coupon-free travel and enabling passengers to book and fly on very short notice.

Stylish souvenirs ranging from Chelsea football shirts and precisely-detailed aircraft models to Cross ballpoint pens are among the attractive choice of souvenirs on offer from the new Emirates shop on Abu Dhabi’s Corniche.

Emirates, the Dubai-based international carrier, and US-based Continental Airlines (NYSE: CAL) will start codesharing on flights between Dubai and the US via London Gatwick airport. A new marketing link will also allow travellers on both carriers to enjoy access to one another’s airport lounges, as well as enhanced frequent flyer benefits.
