The return of flights to Glasgow follows the resumption of Emirates flights for passengers to and from Manchester and London Heathrow, and the announcement that Dubai will re-open to business and leisure visitors from 7th July.

Flights will also resume between Dubai and Cairo (from 1st July), Tunis (from 1st July) and Malé (from 16th 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.

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.

Health and safety first: Emirates 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 containing masks, gloves, hand sanitiser and antibacterial wipes to all customers.
