Emirates reveals that is has returned\u00a0 over AED 5 billion (US$ 1.4 billion) to customers in COVID-19 related travel refunds and cleared 90% of its refunds backlog, making strong and steady progress on its commitment to complete pending refunds.<\/p>\n
This includes all requests received from customers around the world up until the end of June, save for a few cases which require further manual review.<\/p>\n
Since after the pandemic hit, Emirates has also invested additional resources to increase its processing capability. The airline also continues to work with industry partners to facilitate refunds for those who have booked their Emirates flights through travel agents.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe understand that from our customers\u2019 standpoint, each pending refund request is one too many. We are committed to honouring refunds and are trying our utmost to clear the massive and unprecedented backlog that was caused by the pandemic. Most cases are straightforward, and these we will process quickly. But there are cases which will take a bit more time for our customer teams to manually review and complete. We are grateful to our customers for their patience and understanding.\u201d said Sir Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline.<\/p>\n
