Emirates although grounded its entire fleet in late March, some flights were resumed on 6th April. Typically the Boeing 777s took the skies while Airbus A380s still remained grounded.
And now Emirates has unveiled plans to deploy its iconic Airbus A380 on its quotidian Amsterdam service, and add a second quotidian A380 service to London Heathrow starting from 1st August, 2020.Apart from that, the airline resumed regular flights from Dubai to seven additional cities namely Athens, Barcelona, Geneva, Glasgow, Larnaca, Munich and Rome.
Today, the airline will resume flights to Malé and Washington DC, whilst Brussels flights will recommence tomorrow i.e. 17 July.
A noteworthy point was made by Emirates stating that travellers will only be accepted on flights if they comply with the eligibility and entry criteria requirements of their destination countries.
Also before buying a ticket, passengers should check they have whatever insurance they need, and also verify very carefully with the relevant authorities for all the latest required regulations of not only their final destination, but also the airport they will fly from, return to, and any they may need to transit in.
What are your opinions regarding this commencement by Emirates? Also, what other points a passenger must contemplate for ensuring his/her safety as well as implementation of standard protocol amid this pandemic?
Would love to know in the comments!
