Emirates is the flag carrier of the United Arab Emirates and flies its entire network from a single hub, Dubai International (DXB). Founded in 1985 with two leased aircraft, it has grown into one of the largest international airlines in the world, with a fleet built around two widebodies: the Boeing 777 and the Airbus A380, of which it is the largest operator.

Dubai sits within a few hours' flying time of much of the world's population, and Emirates' network is shaped by it: one-stop connections between Europe and Asia, Africa and Australia, the Americas and the Indian subcontinent, all through the same terminal. Some routes also carry passengers between two foreign cities on the way, as fifth freedom flights.

Below is the network on a map, every destination with its distance from Dubai, and the longest and shortest routes Emirates flies.
