Emirates plans to restore services to six more destinations from July 15 to August 15, bringing the carrier’s network to 58 cities.

The Dubai-based carrier plans to 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.

“We’ve seen an uptick in customer interest and demand since the announcement of Dubai’s re-opening, and also with the increased travel options that we offer as we gradually re-establish our network connectivity,” says chief commercial officer Adnan Kazim.

“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,” he said.

Passengers will be able to connect through the carrier’s Dubai hub or visit the city itself, as it has re-opened for visitors.

The airline has amended its booking policies to offer customers flexibility with their travel plans. “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,” it says.
