Emirates will resume daily passenger flights to Amman next week as Jordan reopens its main airport six months after its closure due to the novel coronavirus. 

Beginning Sept. 8, three-hour flights between Dubai and the Jordanian capital will operate on an Emirates Boeing 777-300ER, the Dubai-owned airline said in a statement Friday. All passengers arriving or passing through Dubai must have obtained a negative COVID-19 test no more than 96 hours before departure, the airline said.
