Good news to the Filipinos in the United Arab Emirates who want to go home to the Philippines during the time of crisis. After having 2 successful Dubai to Manila flights this week, Emirates airline is announcing 3 new flights next week and will take place on April 20, 22 and 24, 2020.
These are repatriation flights intended only for Philippine citizens (or those who meet Philippine entry requirements) who want to fly from Dubai to Manila. This is now a good opportunity to book a flight so you can go home to your loved ones. Given that the flights in the UAE are operating on limited passenger capacity, these 3 new flights are a good indication that there are many expat Filipinos who will be able to go home.
Emirates adds three flights to Manila next week to help Filipinos in the UAE get home
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 that Emirates has operated thus far, for health and safety reasons, the airline will offer a modified inflight service that reduces contact, and the risk of infection. More information is available on emirates.com.
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. Travellers should arrive at Dubai International airport Terminal 3 for check-in, three hours before departure. Emirates’ check-in counters will only process passengers holding confirmed bookings.
