Emirates continues to lead the industry with innovative products and services that address traveller needs. Its recent customer care initiatives include generous and flexible booking policies, an extension of its multi-risk insurance cover and helping loyal customers retain their miles and tier status.
Keeping the health and wellbeing of its passengers as a top priority, Emirates has introduced a comprehensive set of safety measures at every step of the customer journey. The airline has also recently introduced contactless technology and scaled up its digital verification capabilities to provide its customers with even more opportunities to utilise the IATA Travel Pass this summer.
Emirates currently operates flights to over a dozen cities in Africa, including Abidjan, Accra, Addis Ababa, Cairo, Casablanca, Conakry, Dakar, Dar Es Salaam, Harare, Johannesburg (inbound only), Khartoum, Luanda, Nairobi and Tunis.
As international borders reopen and travel restrictions ease, Emirates continues to expand its network safely and sustainably. The airline has resumed passenger services to over 120 destinations, recovering close to 90 per cent of its pre-pandemic network. Customers can enjoy convenient and seamless connections to the Americas, Europe, Africa, Middle East, and Asia Pacific via Dubai.
