Emirates has announced it will resume passenger flights to Malé, the capital of the Maldives, from 16 July, as the airline continues to add travel options for customers by re-starting passenger flights to Cairo (from 1 July), Tunis (from 1 July), and Glasgow (from 15 July).

“This will bring Emirates’ network to 52 destinations in July, offering travellers convenient connections between the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Americas through its Dubai hub, while ensuring the health and safety of customers and employees on the ground and in the air”, the company said in a press release issued earlier today.

Emirates will operate five flights a week between Malé and Dubai, on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Customers from Emirates’ network can also travel to Dubai following the announcement last week that the city will be open to business and leisure visitors from 07 July, with new air travel protocols that facilitate travel for UAE citizens, residents and tourists while safeguarding the health and safety of visitors and communities.

The press release also stated that the airline has implemented a comprehensive set of measures at every step of the customer journey to ensure the safety of its customers and employees on the ground and in the air, including the distribution of complimentary hygiene kits.

The Republic of Maldives closed its borders on March 27th, as a precautionary measure against the coronavirus. However, the country is currently preparing to reopen its borders on July 15.
