Welco me to the Emirates Metro Series The Sydney Symphony is a fi rst-class orchestra in one of the world’s most beautiful cities, and Emirates, as a world-class airline, is proud to be Principal Partner for another year. 2012 is a particularly special year – a cause for double celebration as the Sydney Symphony celebrates its 80th anniversary and we share our 10-year partnership. A First Class experience is always a memorable one. Whether it be exiting your personal Emirates chauffeur-driven car at the airport, ready to be whisked away to the Emirates lounge, or entering a concert hall for an unforgettable night of music, the feeling of luxury and pleasure is the same. Emirates in Australia has gone from strength to strength. Our growing network now features 29 exciting European destinations to be explored, including Geneva, Copenhagen and St Petersburg, launched in 2011; and most recently Dublin in January this year. In 2012 we are proud to offer 70 fl ights per week from Australia to our hub in Dubai, as well as an additional 28 fl ights per week trans-Tasman. Flying from Sydney to Auckland with Emirates is a unique experience. We operate our state-of-the-art Airbus A380 superjumbo on this route, which offers all the luxuries that you have come to expect from Emirates – from chauffeur-driven transfers and priority check-in and world-class lounges for our Business and First Class customers, to a gourmet food and wine experience once on board, plus over 1000 channels of entertainment. We are delighted to continue our support of the Sydney Symphony and Sydney as a whole, through sponsorships such as the Emirates Australian Open. We look forward to working with the orchestra throughout this special celebratory year, to showcase the best of the best when it comes to both music and luxury travel.
