Emirates’ reputation, vision and innovation were recognised last Friday with a prestigious accolade at the Business Executive Excellence awards held in Accra.
Selected by a committee of experienced entrepreneurs, economists, accomplished corporate strategists and seasoned journalists, Emirates was named the ‘Best Airline – Foreign Company of the Year’ in Ghana.
“We are extremely pleased that Emirates has been honoured with this award.
The aviation industry in Ghana has grown competitively over the last few years, and it is therefore a source of great pride that Emirates has been recognised in this manner,” said Hendrik Du Preez, Country Manager of Emirates in Ghana.
“For the past 12 years, Emirates has been committed to enhancing the travel experience of our valuable customers in Ghana. We look forward to many more years of affording customers opportunities to explore the world for less and experience Emirates award-winning products and services,” he continued.
Under the theme ‘Recognising Resilience and Creativity in Business Operations’, the airline was granted the award based on, among others, its managerial ability to drive the business forward in the current challenging operating environment, tangible evidence of commercial success, as well as its strong corporate reputation and public image.
Emirates, a global connector of people and places, has received more than 600 international awards and accolades for excellence.
