Emirates boosts services across Europe

Emirates is scaling up services with additional route resumptions and more flights across its European network, responding to the easing of international entry protocols and an upsurge in passenger demand.

In the UK, Emirates continues to boost its operations and will reinstate flights to Newcastle Airport (NCL) from October 15, offering four weekly flights to the northeast England, all operated by the Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in a two-class configuration, said a press release. 

According to the release, by the end of October, the airline will offer 77 weekly flights to the UK as it gradually recovers operations in one of its most important global markets. UK weekly operations include a six times daily London Heathrow operation with five A380 services; double daily A380 flights to Manchester, 10 weekly services to Birmingham, daily services to Glasgow and four weekly services to Newcastle.

Earlier this month, UAE moved onto the UK’s ‘amber’ list for travel, and travellers arriving in the UK from Dubai no longer need to quarantine in a government-approved hotel, said the release.
