To achieve this milestone, the airline is training over 30,000 cabin crew and ground staff to better support neurodiverse travelers. At least 80% of customer-facing staff will complete the specialized program, which tackles autism misconceptions, individual needs, and sensory triggers, ensuring tailored support for every traveler.

Next-Level Accessibility

Emirates is taking accessibility to new heights in 2025 with innovative services. These include:

Sensory guides and digital tools to navigate sensory environments like sound, lighting, and smells.

Neurodiverse-friendly products such as fidget toys to reduce stress and maintain focus during flights.

The airline has already been recognized as a Certified Autism Centre for its four Dubai check-in facilities, including its hub in Terminal 3 at Dubai International Airport.

As part of its ongoing commitment to inclusivity, Emirates is redefining travel for everyone—proving that the sky is truly the limit.
