Thank Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoumās grandiose vision and Sir Maurice Flanaganās "hojayega" attitude. On October 25, Emirates took its maiden voyage from Dubai to Karachi and Mumbai using borrowed planes from Pakistan International Airlinesābecause who needs original aircraft? In its debut year, Emirates managed to haul 260,000 passengers and 10,000 tons of freight, much to Gulf Airās endless annoyance.

In 1993, onboard telecommunications seemed a good idea, and in 1994 they introduced in-flight faxingābecause who doesnāt need to send a fax at 35,000 feet? By 2000, they ordered Airbus A380s, because if youāre going big, go absurdly big Today, Emi Is a big boy
