As the United Arab Emirates (UAE) decided to relax entry procedures for 12 countries, including Vietnam, and the UK added the UAE to the Amber list (a list of countries with a medium risk level), Emirates will restore operating capacity to 29 cities in its network with over 270 flights, as well as adjust its flight schedule to increase frequency and capacity as demand for international leisure and business travel increases.
Accordingly, passengers from Vietnam can transit in Dubai to continue their journey to other destinations of the airline such as Spain, France, the US and Canada. Travelers to Dubai must have a negative PCR Covid-19 test result certificate no more than 72 hours before departure.
By October, Emirates will increase its UK services to 73 flights a week, including six daily flights to London Heathrow, double the number of daily flights to Manchester, 10 weekly flights to Birmingham and daily flights to Glasgow.
Emirates currently operates flights to 12 cities in the US with more than 70 flights per week, with additional flights planned to Houston, Boston and San Francisco in August. The airline has also scheduled flights to and from South Africa to ensure convenient connections and access to four additional destinations in the UK, as well as to Emirates’ US network.
As borders reopen and travel restrictions ease, Emirates continues to expand its network in a safe and sustainable manner. The airline has resumed passenger services to over 120 destinations and is back to almost 90% of its pre-pandemic network.
