Emirates announced it will resume passenger flights to London Heathrow, Frankfurt, Paris, Milan, Madrid, Chicago, Toronto, Sydney and Melbourne, and offer connections in Dubai for customers between UK and Australia.

Great news for people who need to travel urgently, flights to nine destinations will resume on May 21. You will only be accepted on the flight if you meet the eligibility and entry criteria requirements of the destination countries. This includes approval from the Federal Authority for Identify and Citizenship (ICA) for UAE residents who wish to return to Dubai.

The flights will be available for booking on emirates.com.

Emirates is also working to facilitate repatriation

The Dubai airline is working closely with embassies and consulates to facilitate repatriation flights for visitors and residents wishing to return home. This week, the airline plans to operate flights from Dubai to Tokyo Narita (15 May), Conakry (16 May), and Dakar (16 May). See Emirates for more details.
