EMIRATES.COM EARNS TOP INTERNET AWARD

Bangkok--Jan 15--MDK Consultants (Thailand) The eyes of the Internet world turned towards Dubai recently for the launch of the visionary Dubai Internet City project and GiTEX information technology exhibition - and the organisers took the opportunity to showcase leading technology pioneers with a series of Internet awards. Among the winners was Emirates Airline, which was honoured for having the best business to consumer site www.emirates.com. The site, completely redesigned only last month, now allows users to check schedules, obtain details of Emirates Holidays, learn about Skywards, the frequent flier programme for Emirates and SriLankan Airlines, apply for jobs as cabin crew -- and book on line if they are in the UAE. Its sophisticated Quick Time virtual reality technology even lets them take a virtual tour of Emirates' new First and Business Class lounges at Dubai International Airport - or view animated images of Business Class seats in the state-of-the-art Boeing 777s and Airbus A330s. Ghaith Al Ghaith, Commercial Operations Director, said: "This flagship site gives us a springboard for future on-line marketing and e-commerce. We're working on further ground-breaking ideas, so naturally we are very encouraged to have earned this prestigious award."
