The airline revealed it will resume flights to Geneva (from July 15), Los Angeles (from July 22), Dar es Salaam (from August 1), Prague and Sao Paulo (from August 2), and Boston (from August 15). This will take the airline’s network to 58 cities by mid-August, including 20 points in Europe and 24 points in the Asia Pacific.Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Chief Commercial Officer said the airline had seen an uptick in customer interest and demand since the announcement of Dubai’s reopening.

"We continue to work closely with all stakeholders to resume flight operations while ensuring that all necessary measures to safeguard the health and safety of our customers and employees are in place," said Kazim. 

Emirates customers travelling between the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific, can enjoy safe and convenient connections via Emirates’ hub in Dubai.

Customers who purchase an Emirates ticket by July 31, 2020, for travel on or before November 30, 2020, can enjoy generous rebooking terms and options if they have to change their travel plans due to unexpected flight or travel restrictions relating to Covid-19, or when they book a Flex or Flex Plus fare.  

Emirates has implemented a comprehensive set of measures at every step of the customer journey to ensure the safety of its customers and employees on the ground and in the air, including the distribution of complimentary hygiene kits containing masks, gloves, hand sanitiser and antibacterial wipes to all customers.
