Emirates has announced a near-complete return to its global operations, with 96% of its network now restored after a period of disruption. Over the past few weeks, the airline has gradually resumed services across key regions including the Americas, Europe, Africa, West Asia, the Middle East/GCC, the Far East, and Australasia.

At present, Emirates operates flights to 137 destinations across 72 countries, with more than 1,300 weekly frequencies. This accounts for around 75% of its pre-disruption capacity, as the airline continues to increase flights, seat availability, and travel options for passengers. The move also reinforces Dubai as a major global hub connecting international travellers.

Even during the disruption period, Emirates carried 4.7 million passengers between 1 March and 30 April, reflecting steady demand for travel and continued trust in the airline’s services.

Passengers flying with Emirates can expect a consistent and high-quality experience both onboard and on the ground. The airline offers regionally inspired, multi-course meals prepared by experienced chefs, along with a wide range of premium beverages. Its inflight entertainment system, ice, features over 6,500 channels across nearly 40 languages, including movies, TV shows, music, podcasts, and more. High-speed Wi-Fi is also available, with Starlink connectivity currently live on 28 aircraft, allowing passengers to stay connected during their journey.

To make travel more convenient, Emirates has introduced several customer-friendly benefits. Bookings made from 2 April include one free date change across all cabin classes, and travellers can hold fares for up to 24 hours at no cost. The airline’s Dubai Connect programme offers added comfort for passengers with transit times between 6 to 26 hours, providing complimentary hotel stays, airport transfers, meals, and visa support where required.

Additionally, Emirates Skywards members can benefit from faster tier upgrades and Bonus Tier Miles on Emirates and flydubai flights between 1 May and 31 August 2026.

For Indian travellers, Emirates continues to maintain strong connectivity with 167 daily flights between Dubai and nine cities, including Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Thiruvananthapuram, ensuring smooth and reliable travel options.
