EK adds 270 flights to their network after easing entry rules
With the recent announcements of the UAE easing entry protocols for 12 countries, and the UK adding the UAE to its amber list, Emirates is scaling up their operations.
In line with the easing of restrictions, the airline will be restoring capacity across 29 cities on their network with over 270 flights; as well as fine-tuning their schedules to boost frequencies and capacity as demand proliferates for international leisure and business travel.
By October, the airline will increase their services to 73 weekly flights to the UK; including a six times a day London Heathrow operation, double daily A380 flights to Manchester, ten weekly services to Birmingham and daily services to Glasgow.
From today Emirates will begin serving London Heathrow with three daily flights, all operated by their flagship A380.
Throughout August and September, Emirates will gradually increase their operations to London Heathrow; by the middle of October the airline intends to have restored operations to six daily flights, of which four will be served by the A380. Emirates currently flies to 12 cities in the United States, with over 70 weekly flights, and will be adding additional frequencies to Houston, Boston and San Francisco over the course of August to accommodate for the seasonal influx of travellers.
