Emirates is set to restart passenger services to Conakry, Guinea and Dakar, Senegal from 3rd September, with a linked service operating two times a week while utilizing the Emirates Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.
This brings the total number of cities served by Emirates in Africa to
eight. Emirates is gradually and responsibly restoring its network connectivity, providing customers with more travel options to Dubai and beyond. The addition of linked services between Conakry and Dakar will
boost Emirates’ growing network to 77 cities, providing travellers
enhanced global connectivity, particularly to and from destinations in
the Middle East, West Asia, Europe, the Americas and the Far East, with
one convenient stop in Dubai. More information on Emirates’ current
routes and services can be found on www.emirates.com/wherewefly.
Customers can stop over or travel to Dubai as the city has re-opened for
international business and leisure visitors. COVID-19 PCR tests are
mandatory for all inbound and transit passengers arriving to Dubai (and
the UAE), including UAE citizens, residents and tourists, irrespective
of the country they are coming from.
Dubai is one of the most popular global destinations. From sun-soaked
beaches and heritage activities to world class hospitality and leisure
facilities, Dubai has proved its worth. In 2019, the city welcomed 16.7
million visitors and hosted over hundreds of global meetings and
exhibitions, as well as sports and entertainment events. Dubai was one
of the world’s first cities to obtain Safe Travels stamp from the World
Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) – which endorses Dubai’s comprehensive
and effective measures to ensure guest health and safety.
Customers can now travel with confidence, as Emirates has committed to
cover COVID-19 related medical expenses, free of cost, should they be
diagnosed with COVID-19 during their travel while they are away from
home. This cover is immediately effective for customers flying on
Emirates until 31 October 2020 (first flight to be completed on or
before 31 October 2020), and is valid for 31 days from the moment they
fly the first sector of their journey. This means Emirates customers can
continue to benefit from the added assurance of this cover, even if they
travel onwards to another city after arriving at their Emirates
destination. For more details: www.emirates.com/COVID19assistance.
As regards health and safety, Emirates has implemented a comprehensive
set of measures at every step of the customer journey to ensure the
safety of its customers and employees on the ground and in the air,
including the distribution of complimentary hygiene kits containing
