Dubai's Emirates has announced it will resume daily flights to Istanbul from 21 December, subject to government approval, after the pandemic forced authorities to shut airports earlier this year.
Strict health and hygiene measures have been implemented across all of Emirates’ touchpoints, even as the airline brings back its signature products and services onboard and on ground, the Dubai airline said on its website.
The addition of Istanbul expands Emirates’ European network to 31 destinations, enabling customers to safely and easily connect to destinations across its wide global network with one convenient stop in Dubai.
According to Emirates, flight EK 121 will depart Dubai at 14:20 hrs, arriving in Istanbul at 16:20 hrs. The return flight, EK 122, will depart Istanbul at 20:05 hrs, arriving in Dubai at 01:20 hrs. Flights to/from Istanbul will operate once daily by the Boeing 777- 300ER.
Emirates customers who require a COVID-19 PCR test certificate prior to departure from Dubai, can avail of special rates at clinics across Dubai by simply presenting their ticket or boarding pass. Home or office testing is also available, with results in 48 hours, the airline said.
