As airlines around the world gradually resume scheduled passenger flights, Emirates will operate scheduled flight services to nine destinations from 21 May.

The new destinations include London Heathrow, Frankfurt, Paris, Milan, Madrid, Chicago, Toronto, Sydney and Melbourne.

The airline will also offer connections in Dubai for customers travelling between the UK and Australia. These flights will be available for booking on emirates.com.

Travellers will only be accepted on these flights if they comply with the eligibility and entry criteria requirements of their destination countries. This includes an approval from the Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA) for UAE residents who wish to return to Dubai.

In addition to the scheduled services, Emirates will also continue to operate repatriation flights for visitors and residents wishing to return home.

This week, Emirates will operate repatriation flights from Dubai to Tokyo Narita (15 May), Conakry (16 May), and Dakar (16 May).
