• Emirates has the largest fleet of Boeing 777s and Airbus A380s in the world.
• Emirates Engineering is tasked with keeping the fleet operating safely and effectively.
• Here's a look inside its facilities at Dubai International Airport.

Over the past three decades, Emirates has become a global aviation powerhouse. The Dubai, United Arab Emirates-based airline now operates the world's largest fleet Airbus A380 and Boeing 777s.

The tally includes 101 Airbus A380s, four times as many as the next largest operator of the superjumbo. And Emirates has committed to as many as 77 more of the planes. It also operates 166 Boeing 777 airliners. That means roughly 12% of all Boeing 777s produced over the past 25 years currently fly wearing Emirates livery.

And the people tasked with keeping those planes operating safely and effectively is Emirates Engineering. It's the airline's maintenance arm.

It's an organization that has proved to be immensely successful and is built on a team-focused culture of "when in doubt, ask for help" and an understanding of the importance of preventative maintenance.
