The activities of the Dubai long-haul carrier are being expanded in a number of international markets as travel demand rises and COVID-19 restrictions are being relaxed. Due to escalating demand, the airline announced on Monday that it will expand its service to Sydney and Melbourne, two important Australian cities.
The airline’s most recent capacity increases announced this month are the new services to Australia. The airline has revealed plans to increase frequency to Hong Kong and relaunch its flagship A380 to Casablanca, Morocco. Ahead of the New Lunar Year and in response to high demand for travel, according to Zawya, it had also made preparations to expand operations in China.
Beginning on March 26, Melbourne will offer three daily connections between Dubai and Singapore via Singapore, with a third service directly to Sydney beginning on May 1. By the middle of the year, the airline claims to be running 63 weekly flights to Australia, with a weekly passenger capacity of more than 55,000.
The airline declared that it would resume pre-pandemic service to Sydney and Melbourne. Emirates has announced plans to increase the number of daily flights to Brisbane by two, effective June 1. Emirates will be able to offer a new connectivity option between Singapore and Melbourne thanks to the recently reinstated third Dubai-Melbourne route, according to the statement.
Australia said last July that it would no longer need travelers to produce proof of vaccination. But as of January 5, the government mandates that travellers from China, including those from Hong Kong and Macau, provide proof of a COVID-19 test result that was negative before to departure.
