With Angola flight, Emirates airline to reach 15 African destinations by October
Since resuming some international flights in May, the Dubai-based carrier has resumed passenger services to more than 85 destinations worldwide.
Dubai-based carrier Emirates will reach 15 destinations in Africa by next month, the airline said Thursday, as it gradually rebuilds a flight network crippled by the coronavirus pandemic.
Flights to Luanda, Angola, will operate once a week on Thursdays beginning Oct. 1, a statement from Emirates said. Last week, the air carrier restarted passenger services to Moscow and announced it would be resuming flights to Casablanca on Sept. 18.
After suspending all flights in March, Emirates slowly began to rebuild its flight network in May, with flights to nine destinations in North America, Europe and Australia. The airline is now serving more than 85 cities.
Tourists as well as citizens and residents of the United Arab Emirates who arrive in Dubai or are making a connection in the city must have obtained a negative COVID-19 test no more than 96 hours before departure, according to the airline.
