The airline claims that it has seen 23% increase in sales since EmiratesRED was launched a month ago.
Emirates has also introduced a dedicated shopping channel on its award-winning inflight entertainment system, ice, called EmiratesRED TV, to introduce some of the experts behind the products available on board.
The EmiratesRED catalogue was launched on 1 October and is packed with over 150 products, featuring some of the world’s most desirable brands and the latest must-haves. The revamped catalogue also offers unique and hard-to-find products.
