Adnan Kazim, Emirates Chief Commercial Officer said:”Emirates welcomes the decision to add the UAE to the UK\u2019s \u2018amber list\u2019 for international travel, reflecting the extensive steps thathave been taken to mitigate the spread of the virus in the UK and UAE.” ”Since the UK\u2019s announcement last evening, we\u2019ve seen a huge surge in queries from customers desperate to travel to see their families, planning their kids\u2019 return for the new school term, as well as their postponed business or holiday travel. Emirates is reviewing our operations to various points in the UK and any service restart will be announced in the usual fashion,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The UAE currently has one of the world\u2019s most successful vaccination programmes \u2013 with over 79 percent of the population having received one dose and over 71 percent already fully vaccinated. Given the low numbers of coronavirus cases in the UAE, the extensive testing at Dubai International Airport, and the careful health and safety measures in place across the passenger journey, we hope to see the UAE moving to the \u2018green\u2019 list soon. ” ”We have been working closelywith partners around the world, including IATA, to help passengers easily and securely manage their travel in line with any government requirements for COVID-19 testing or vaccine information and will continue to work with the UK government to safely resume travel,” he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
