EmQuest, the rebranded travel services provider of the Emirates Group, has welcomed three new customers. HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive Emirates Airline and Group , signed contracts with BCD Travel, Al Rais Travel and AIG Travel on the EmQuest stand at the Arabian Travel Market 2007 held in Dubai.

EmQuest`s prime goal is to leverage technology through partnerships to provide customers with convenience, flexibility and innovation. The company aims to provide products that ease the travel booking process, simultaneously offering a vast array of services for the customer.
The agreements signed form the basis for EmQuest to expand its reach in the market, and broaden its product offering for customers across the U.A.E. Al Rais Travel, not entirely a new customer; Al Rais is one of the top five customers for EmQuest and has reaffirmed its business commitment to continue to use the Galileo Reservation System. BCD Travel, a global conglomerate and a new entrant in the local travel market, provides travel related services through Galileo products supplied by EmQuest.
Travel Insurance is fast becoming a mandatory requirement for the traveller. By partnering with AIG, EmQuest will be able to offer its customers a wider choice of insurance options. AIG MEMSA is the largest provider of travel insurance in the region and a member of the American International Group, Inc. (AIG), world leaders in insurance and financial services.
Sheikh Ahmed said: “EmQuest has been recently rebranded, but the team`s indepth experience and track record in the market continues to win over customers. Our travel industry partners contribute to the wide range of travel services that EmQuest has on offer and these agreements signed today will no doubt benefit both the traveller and the travel agent. With the support of our industry partners and our own team, we are confident that EmQuest will grow and prosper, while continuing to explore new technologies and means to provide superior service and an advanced product offering.”
