The international airline Emirates is participating in the 18th ITB Berlin in Germany that took place last week at the Exhibition Grounds in Berlin. ITB Berlin, the world’s leading travel trade show, stands as the premiere meeting place for the travel industry. A total of nearly 11,000 exhibitors from some 180 countries and territories took part in this year’s trade show.

Emirates has an eye-catching stand. Chosen for its spectacular design as well as the services and activities, the Emirates stand is shaped like an Airbus A380 super jumbo. The A380 is the world's first double decker aircraft and the airline is by far the largest customer with 45 on firm order, the first of which will be received in August, 2008.

New this year, the airline will showcase its new Boeing 777-300 ER lie-flat business class seats.

Emirates operates five flights weekly from Malta to Dubai via Larnaca, Cyprus, on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, using the Airbus A330-200.
