Following the resumption of numerous Emirates services last month, the UAE carrier is planning to restart even more routes from the 15th June. This includes Brisbane and Perth, adding to the Sydney and Melbourne services currently in operation.
The returning services will fly on Emirates’ Boeing 777-300ER aircraft between Dubai and 16 cities, adding Singapore, New York JFK, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Vienna, Manchester, Copenhagen and Hong Kong amongst others. This means that flights will now be available to four Australian cities, putting the structure in place for when international travel is once again allowed.
Although travel restrictions remain in place at most destinations, the return of these services is a positive sign for the prospects of international travel. The resumption is no doubt helped by the UAE Government’s recent decision to lift restrictions on transit passenger services.
Those making a connection in Dubai still need to meet travel and immigration entry requirements of their destination country. Customers are reminded to check exit and entry requirements before their journeys.
Below are details on each of the four Australian services that will be in place from 15th June:
