“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. Trained staff are onhand to help with planning trips, managing preferences, and booking tickets. 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.

Beginning December 4, the sustainable tickets will be available in all travel classes on over 850,000 yearly flights.

Since Green Fares debuted in 2023, more than two million passengers have opted in and offset nearly 190,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
