In an interview with the , the Chief Operating Officer of Emirates, Adel Al Redha, discussed the “strong comeback” the airline was set to have.
Over the weekend, the airline announced it would be recommending flights to the following cities: Khartoum, Sudan (July 3), Amman, Jordan (July 5), Osaka, Japan (July 7), Narita, Japan (July 8), Athens, Greece (July 15), Larnaca, Cyprus (July 15) and Rome, Italy (15 July).
This comes after authorities announced Dubai would be able to welcome tourists back from July 7. All those intending to travel to Dubai present a negative COVID-19 test upon arrival, or undergo a test at the airport.
As well as a negative COVID-19 test, visitors must be prepared to follow the stringent guidelines in place for travelling to Dubai.
This includes having valid health insurance; filling out the health declaration form for entering the country; download the COVID-19 DXB app; and be aware airlines have the right to refuse passengers boarding if they suspect they may have COVID-19.
Last week, Emirates also posted a video in partnership with Dubai Tourism honing in on the message that the city is open for business.
“This city has its arms wide open, and they are open for you,” the uplifting video stated.
