In order to optimize its presence in key markets to serve leisure, the growing business travel demand, as well as the segments of travelers who are visiting friends and relatives, Emirates has been gradually and safely rebuilding its route network and advancing its strategy.
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.
The airline will be resuming services to seven cities in July, including: Venice on 1 July; Phuket, Nice, Orlando and Mexico City on 2 July; Lyon on 9 July and Malta on 14 July. Emirates will also be launching flights to Florida’s second largest city and one of the world’s most popular holiday spots, Miami, starting 22 July.
Chairman and chief executive of Emirates, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, said: “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.”
He further mentioned, “We are encouraged by the latest developments as many countries have begun to turn the page and reopen for international visitors, and we are seeing 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.”
