Emirates to resume flights to Kuwait, Lisbon

Emirates has announced it will resume passenger services to Kuwait City (5 August) and Lisbon (16 August), taking the airline's passenger network to 70 destinations in August.
 
With this Emirates network will reach over 50% of its pre-pandemic destinations, as the airline gradually resumes operations with the safety of its customers, crew and communities as its top priority.
 
Flights from Dubai to Kuwait City will operate as a daily service and flights from Dubai to Lisbon will operate three times a week. The flights will be operated with the Emirates Boeing 777-300ER.
 
Passengers travelling between the Americas, Europe, Africa, Middle East, and Asia Pacific can enjoy safe and convenient connections via Dubai. Customers from Emirates' network can stop over or travel to Dubai as the city has re-opened for international business and leisure visitors, the airline said. 
 
Covid-19 PCR tests are mandatory for all inbound and transit passengers arriving to Dubai (and the UAE), including UAE citizens, residents and tourists, irrespective of the country they are coming from. 
 
Free, global cover for Covid-19 related costs: Customers can now travel with confidence as Emirates has committed to cover Covid-19 related medical expenses, free of cost, should they be diagnosed with Covid-19 during their travel while they are away from home. - TradeArabia News Service
