YouGov analysis reveals Emirates tops UAE’s Recommend Rankings 2022 with a Recommend score of 91.8. Noting the greatest improvement amongst the top ten brands (of +4.2), the country’s flag-carrier airline retains its position as the most recommended brand among customers in the UAE.
The rankings are based on YouGov BrandIndex’s positive Recommend score, which measures the percentage of a brand’s customers who would recommend it to a friend or colleague. Every brand in our Rankings has a minimum sample of 300 and has been tracked for at least 6 months, with all scores being rounded to a single decimal place.
