Emirates Air
I'm a new Pprune user and just wanted to ask for some help regarding the track record of Emirates Air. I am a retired Delta Captain ('03) and got a call recently from my Brother-in-Law re Emirates. He is considering sending his daughter to Tanzania from the US on Emirates (for an International Studies program). He asked me if I had any background info on this carrier (ie. quality of service and overall safety record). I was totally unfamiliar with this info, especially since I've been out of the business, so any amplifying info would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance! Don

To be completely blunt Don - better service than any US carrier by far (ie no crusty old bats down the back
) and safety wise, well at a 100% safety record better than the US majors too
Cheers

SOPS,
I think you better add the word "hundred" to your:
[And it has one or two 777s and a few airbuses....or so I have heard]
...preferably after the word one...
I believe they have around 120 aircraft now, if not more, including 2 A380s, which I believe no US airline has at the moment. Their fleet is all widebody aircraft, mostly A330s, A340s and B777s.

Surely this was a wind-up by the thread starter...
Surely a pilot from an international major like Delta would have at least a basic understanding of the big airlines outside the US. Especially one that will be the world's biggest operator in three years!
Apologies to the OP if you were being genuinely serious...

Oh well - I suppose it wasn't Delta but United who ended up in Brussels thinking it was Frankfurt
