Dubai airline Emirates has announced they will operate flights to nine destinations from May 21.
The massive airline plans to operate scheduled flight services to London Heathrow, Frankfurt, Paris, Milan, Madrid, Chicago, Toronto, Sydney and Melbourne.
While their flights to Dublin have not resumed, Irish passengers can now travel to one of these airports to reach the United Arab Emirates.
The airline will also offer connections in Dubai for customers travelling between the UK and Australia.
Adel Al Redha, Emirates’ Chief Operating Officer, said: “We are pleased to resume scheduled passenger services to these destinations, providing more options for customers to travel from the UAE to these cities, and also between the UK and Australia.
“We are working closely with the authorities to plan the resumption of operations to additional destinations.
“We have implemented additional measures at the airport in coordination with the relevant authorities in respect to social distancing and sanitization.
“The safety and wellbeing of our employees, customers and communities, remain our top priority.”
For health and safety reasons and to minimise interaction on-board, Emirates will offer a modified in-flight service that focuses on reducing contact and infection risk.
Magazines and print reading material will not be available, cabin baggage has to be checked-in, and customers can only bring essential items such as a laptop, handbag, briefcase or baby items on board.
