Adnan Kazim, commercial director of Emirates Airline, said: “We are delighted to partner with Jafza to support Dubai’s efforts to strengthen its leading position as one of the world’s most preferred investment destinations. Dubai’s dynamic business environment continues to gain momentum, attracting new companies and foreign firms, start-ups and talented entrepreneurs in a variety of sectors. Emirates has long supported a number of initiatives to support SMEs and innovative start-ups in the UAE, and today’s signing with Jafza reaffirms our commitment to stimulating diverse economic activity in Dubai by providing companies with a range of highly competitive travel incentives to enable them to expand their businesses both regionally and globally.”
Emirates has a strong track record of supporting small and medium-sized businesses through the procurement of products and services across a range of industries.

More than 20,000 small and medium-sized businesses currently participate in Emirates’ Business Rewards programme and enjoy a range of benefits, including simplified enrolment, easier earning and use of points, greater flexibility in retaining and using points, and upgrade opportunities.
