Due to the increasing flights departing from Dubai, Emirates has recommenced its operation at Dubai International airport, Terminal 3.

Before passengers board the flights, they must follow health and safety measures required by the UAE authorities and the country of destination.

These flights will not have an online check or have a seat selection.

Other services such as a chauffeur or first class lounge will also be unavailable.

The flights will offer food and beverages but “packaging and presentation” will be modified to make sure there is as little contact as possible between cabin crew and passengers.

The airline said on Twitter that they will have more flights to major cities around the world.

They said: “Emirates announces limited passenger services from Dubai to Algiers, Chicago, Jakarta, Kabul, Manila, Tunis and Taipei.”

There are also rules on luggage and carry-on luggage.

Passengers will only be allowed a laptop, handbag, briefcase or baby items in the overhead compartment.

Emirates requires that everything else is checked in.

Passengers must also wear their own masks in the airport and on the aircraft.

It comes as yesterday, Abu Dhabi-based airline Etihad also announced more repatriation flights.

The flights will be from Abu Dhabi to Brussels, Dublin, London Heathrow, Tokyo Narita and Zurich in addition to the flights the airline had already announced.
