History

"We want our passengers to have a good time, enjoy the flight and not worry about lag. We strive to make sure every passenger is comfortable and happy. Luxury is our goal and, without that, then we're just another airline."
― Ashley Macintyre, CEO and owner of Emirates SL.

Founded April 2013, Emirates' first service began between Miami Airport in Satori and Hollywood Airport, Blake Sea, using Coltercraft Aviation's Boeing 717-200. In late 2013, Emirates spun off a small regional airline called Emirates Regional Express, which utilized light aircraft and operated from smaller airports like St Martin Airfield. However, due to lack of demand for such destinations, Emirates Regional quickly merged once again with its parent company. It was also around this time that the airline took delivery of E-Tech's newly-released Boeing 737-800 airliner (the second airline in SL to operate the aircraft). Proving popular with passengers, the the new Boeing 737 was a welcome addition to the company's new fleet.

Following the closure of Miami International Airport in September 2013, Emirates' main headquarters moved to Second Norway Lufthavn in the Second Norway Estate east of the Blake Sea. Operating out of an office on Level 3 of the airport's main terminal (what is now dubbed Terminal B), the airline had a small first class lounge and an airline check-in area. During 2014, Emirates introduced further intercontinental flights using one of the largest civil aircraft in Second Life - the McDonnell Douglas DC-10. The airline continues to place a strong emphasis on flight comfort for passengers and is one of the few airlines that have aircraft that offer two choices of cabin. Following construction of Second Norway's "Terminal A" building in early 2015, Emirates moved its check-in desk and lounge to the new terminal's concourse level.

in 2017 emirates expended operations to Luxor international airport in the Satori continent and opened up a new first-class lounge in terminal 1 and had a private jetway for emirates only planes. by this tiem emirates acquired a brand new Boeing 757-300 wich replayed the outgoing McDonnell Douglas DC-10. the 757 was smaller but offerd a great first-class cabin and a decent economy class

emirates decided ia new approach on flying with newer aircraft on the market such as the bombardier cjr300 sires regional jets and the BAE-146 the 146 became more dominate in small regional travel n 2018

also, Emirates moved along with Luxor international to a new location for its airport and opened a more spacious first-class lounge then the company ever had.

in2019 emirates added the Arbus A220 to its short-range flights offering a two-class configuration and its the newest plane inthe Emirates fleet
