Emirates has moved back downunder following the UAE Federal Government’s announcement to lift restrictions on transit passenger services, from June 15. Emirates is offering passenger services to 16 more cities on its Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, extending its Australian services to Perth and Brisbane in addition to reinstated services to Sydney and Melbourne. With travel restrictions remaining in place in most countries, passengers are reminded to check entry and exit requirements before their journeys say Emirates. READ: Parts for the last A380 makes their way through France.  Flights to the following cities are also available for booking on emirates.com or via travel agents: Bahrain, Manchester, Zurich, Vienna, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Dublin, New York JFK, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Jakarta, Taipei, and Hong Kong. With this announcement, Emirates is offering flights for passengers on the back of its scheduled cargo operations from Dubai to 29 cities, including existing flights to London Heathrow, Sydney, Melbourne, Frankfurt, Paris, Milan, Madrid, Chicago, Toronto and Manila (from 11th June). Passengers can book to fly between destinations in the Asia Pacific and Europe or the Americas, with a connection in Dubai, as long as they meet travel and immigration entry requirements of their destination country. Health and safety first: 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 sanitizer and antibacterial wipes to all customers. Travel restrictions: Passengers are reminded that travel restrictions remain in place, and travelers will only be accepted on flights if they comply with the eligibility and entry criteria requirements of their destination countries.
