Emirates pushes children along
11 July 2006

Parents with young children are to be given easier run in Dubai International Airport.

Emirates is to introduce a complimentary baby stroller service free of charge, which it claims will be the first such service in the world.

The service is aimed at helping parents after they have checked in their own pushchairs and are left to haul - often unwilling children about the airport and to the plane or for those waiting to retrieve pushchairs from the baggage hall.

Mohammed Mattar, Emirates senior vice president for Dubai airport services, said: 'Travelling with children can be strenuous and we are pleased to introduce this new complimentary service, which adds to the family-friendly facilities onboard Emirates' aircraft and ensures that families travelling with infants enjoy their experience with Emirates from the start of their journey to the very end.'

The strollers are produced by Pierre Cardin and have disposable seat covers to allay any fears over hygiene.
