Emirates has launched limited passenger flights into the UAE.

The services are currently available only from Frankfurt and London Heathrow.

All passengers entering the UAE will have to follow entry restrictions, which include a mandatory DHA test on arrival, a mandatory 14-day quarantine period and a follow-up test before release.

In addition, all passengers looking to book these flights must receive approval from The Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship, through the UAE Twajudi Resident service.

Tickets can be booked on www.emirates.com, not through a travel agent. Tickets are non-refundable and the destination cannot be changed.

Online check-in is not available and seats will be pre-assigned.
