DUBAI, UAE, 22 June 2021: Emirates resumes services to seven cities during July as it ramps up operations across its network to meet strong leisure travel demand over the summer.
The airline rolls out a service to Venice on 1 July; Phuket, Nice, Orlando and Mexico City on 2 July; Lyon on 9 July and Malta on 14 July. It will also launch flights to Florida’s second-largest city Miami, starting 22 July.
Today, Emirates serves 115 global passenger destinations, and by the end of July, it will have recovered close to 90% of its pre-pandemic network, operating 880 weekly services across 124 cities.
“Emirates is committed to keeping Dubai, businesses and communities around the world connected, and we are working hard to rebuild our network and secure access to more destinations in partnership with various authorities and stakeholders. We are encouraged by the latest developments as many countries have begun to turn the page and reopen for international visitors, and we see strong signs of pent-up demand wherever restrictions have eased. Emirates is nimbly matching up flight services and identifying opportunities to grow our footprint and provide customers more opportunities to safely get where they want to go this summer, offering best-in-class service, greater convenience and more choice,” said Emirates chairman and chief executive Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum.
Across its network, the airline will boost capacity and expand its schedules by layering on frequencies for the summer. It will add frequencies to 12 cities across Europe, Africa, and North America as more destinations reopen for international visitors and offer quarantine-free travel.
Emirates destinations with enhanced schedules for July and August include German cities Munich, Dusseldorf, and Hamburg; Zurich; Vienna; Prague; Madrid; Stockholm; Brussels; Lisbon; Chicago and Tunis.
In Europe, the airline currently flies to more than 30 cities in 20 countries, including popular holiday destinations Greece, Spain, Italy, France, and Malta, which offer quarantine-free arrivals.
In the US, with rapid vaccine rollouts and the reopening of air travel at a rate outpacing the world, Emirates will continue to build its presence. With the addition of Miami to its network in July, Emirates will operate over 70 weekly flights to the US, offering over 26,000 seats across 12 gateways including Boston, Chicago, New York (JFK and Newark), Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington DC, and Orlando. The airline is also ramping up its trans-Atlantic operations Milan-New York and Athens-Newark to meet large passenger volumes.
