Fly Emirates has announced its plans to resume passenger flights from 21 May, 2020 to 9 destinations which includes London Heathrow Frankfurt, Paris, Milan, Madrid, Chicago, Toronto, Sydney and Melbourne.
The Airline will also offer connections in Dubai for customers traveling between the UK and Australia.
Emirates had on March 20, 2020 temporarily suspendered its operations to Lusaka, Zambia and Harare, Zimbabwe after a Zambian couple that traveled to France and landed back into the country using Fly Emirates tested positive to COVID-19.
In a statement made available to the Zambian Business Times – ZBT by Fly Emirates Public Relations Consultant Gillian Langmead, the airline has indicated that travelers will only be accepted on these flights if they comply with the eligible and entry criteria requirements of their destination countries.
And this includes an approval from the Federal Authority for identity and Citizenship for UAE residents who wish to return to Dubai.
Emirates Chief Executive Officer Adel Al Redha says the company is pleased to resume scheduled passenger services to the named destinations providing more options for customers to travel from the UAE to their cities.
“We are also working closely with the authorities’ to plan the resumption of operations to additional destinations. We have implemented additional measures at the airport in coordination with the relevant authorities in respect to social distancing and sanitization.
