Emirates cabin crew has been named World's Leading Cabin Crew 2019 at the World Travel Awards (WTA) Grand Final Gala Ceremony.

The event marked the culmination of the WTA's annual search for the finest travel and tourism organizations in the world, where winners of its six regional ceremonies compete for the coveted world titles.

Emirates also won the world title for World's Leading Airline – Economy Class.

Adel Al Redha, Emirates' Chief Operating Officer said, "We are immensely proud of our cabin crew who have joined us from over 160 nations.

"Coming from different walks of life, the Emirates cabin crew truly embrace diversity and make it their strength, as they work as a team on every flight to deliver the best travel experiences.

“Being named World's Leading Cabin Crew is a wonderful testimony to their efforts, and we'd like to thank our customers and industry partners for this recognition."

He added that the airline is delighted to be recognised as the World's Leading Airline–Economy Class.
