Emirates announces first passenger flights post suspension

With what has been going on in the world, travel was brought to a global stand still. Now with certain countries managing the spread of the virus, Emirates has received approvals to carry passengers on certain flights. Effective Monday 6 April, initial flights will commence from Dubai to London Heathrow, Frankfurt, Paris, Brussels and Zurich, with 4 flights a week to London Heathrow, and 3 flights a week to the other cities.

Before you panic and worry; “Isn’t that room for spread of the virus?” Emirates Airlines are taking necessary precautions to ensure all their passengers are safe. For health and safety reasons, Emirates will operate a modified inflight service programme on these flights. Magazines and other print reading material will not be available, and while food and beverages will continue to be offered on board, packaging and presentation will be modified to reduce contact during meal service Emirates’ Lounge and Chauffeur Drive services will be temporarily unavailable during this period.

All Emirates aircraft will go through enhanced cleaning and disinfection processes in Dubai, after each journey.

I know that I don’t think I will travel internationally this year. Seat 3K will see me in 2021!
