Companies whose employees fly to Dubai and the emirates on a regular basis could benefit from a new scheme launched by Emirates airline.

The carrier has launched a scheme that offers extra bonus miles to businesses that sign up for a loyalty scheme.

Small and medium-sized enterprises will be able to sign up to the programme and receive 5,000 bonus miles when their account is activated.

Russell Sheldon, senior vice-president of network passenger sales development at the airline, said: “Small and medium-sized companies are often the most vulnerable in periods of economic uncertainty and we are delighted to be able to help them keep their costs down and reward their loyalty to Emirates.”

Companies from over 55 countries with workers who fly to Dubai and other locations with the airline have already registered for the scheme.

People on a Dubai holiday or who are visiting the country for business in October may wish to attend the Beach Volleyball World Tour which will see women compete in the Arabian Gulf for the first time, according to event’s guide WhatsOnWhen.
