16 April 2020: In an effort to speed up the repatriation of Filipinos in UAE, Emirates will be operating 3 additional flights from Dubai to Manila next week, on 20, 22 and 24 April. Only citizens of the Philippines and those who meet the entry requirements of the destination will be allowed to board. Passengers will be required to comply with all requirements of the destination country.
Similar to other repatriation flights the airline will offer a modified inflight service that reduces contact and the risk of infection for health and safety reasons.
Passengers will be required to apply social distancing guidelines during their journey and wear their own masks when at the airport and on board the aircraft.
