“This is coupled with personalised service and exceptional support from our teams. “Karachi was one of Emirates’ first destinations when we launched our operations back in 1985 and choosing this location for our very first Emirates Travel Store in West Asia is testament to our commitment to Pakistan, which we serve with five gateways.”

The Emirates Travel Store shows customers the airline’s latest offerings, from network destinations to inflight products.

Also included are a selfie mirror that uses Emirates destinations as backgrounds, self serve kiosks, and Emirates-branded merchandise and travel accessories.

The store builds on Emirates’ history in Pakistan, with the country a part of its network for more than 30 years. The store builds on that by providing excellent service and customer participation in the West Asia region.
