The pouches incorporate bio-based materials including cactus and form a collectible range designed in partnership with United for Wildlife to highlight the most endangered species on the planet.

For the first time, premium economy kits will contain skincare wellness products for travellers from plant-powered brand, Aveda.

The reusable kits celebrate the diverse wildlife of the world in four natural environments: the sea, sky, forest and desert.

Hand drawn designs adorn each bag and each pouch contains a story card that gives some insight into the wildlife featured.

The endangered species that Emirates and United for Wildlife are highlighting include African grey parrots, Arabian gazelles, Arabian oryx, Asian black bears, Bengal tigers, Blue sharks, Bornean orangutans, Cape vultures, Chimpanzees, Fennec foxes, Geckos, Gibbons, Glass frogs, Green sea turtles, Manta rays, Painted bats, Pangolins, Peregrine falcons, Red sand boas, Small-clawed otters, Straw-headed bulbuls, Totoaba and Western gorillas.

Founded by Prince William and The Royal Foundation in 2014, United for Wildlife aims to make it impossible for traffickers to transport, finance or profit from illegal wildlife products.

Customers can learn more about United for Wildlife by watching the series ‘Guardians’ on Emirates’ award-winning inflight entertainment system ice, as it spotlights the unsung heroes and wildlife rangers who risk everything to protect the natural world.

The travel and wellness essentials inside include soft socks, eyeshades, earplugs, a Colgate dental kit and Aveda lip balm, hand relief moisturising cream and hydrating face lotion.

The socks and eyeshades are made from 100% recycled post- consumer polyester, while the story card and ear plugs packaging are made from paper sourced from responsibly managed forests.

Available on overnight flights of longer duration, each collectible kit bag highlights endangered species through hand drawn artwork, as well as on a card inside which tells the story of the creature highlighted.

Emirates’ ongoing partnership with United for Wildlife reflects a deep commitment to the prevention of illegal trade of wildlife and wildlife products – a core pillar of the Emirates Environmental Sustainability Framework.
