Ask the same question in Germany or in France, and the answer will be quite different I guess...

Well, the post is honnest, it is a survey been done in the City. In this respect I am a bit surprised that Emirates takes a high position. Its business class service has been criticized a lot, because of the constant upgrading of economy passengers and the fact that the entire business class product is not on parr with the other airliners.
Secondly, as a business and leasure passenger myself, I would not take ER for a business flight because it always takes long transit times at Dubai. Personally I think that the economy plus product of BA and Virgin are a good response to the needs of the business traveller on not such a huge budget.

This puts Emirates even at the top for business travel. Yes, I am really surprised. But okay, we live in a democracy.

I've heard a lot of criticism recently regarding Emirate's business class product. With an imminent trip to the Gulf, it sounds like I'd be better off going on Gulf Air??

Easyjet 4th?

I'm not sure this is very serious...

As some said, the results would be very different in every country.
