Airlines company Emirates announced today (19 June) that they are resuming flights for passengers from Singapore.

Following the UAE Federal Government's announcement to lift restrictions on transit passenger services, travellers from Singapore can now connect to any destination on Emirates' current network of 40 destinations in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Asia Pacific, Europe and the Americas.

The services for passengers between Dubai and Singapore commenced on 17 June – a day that also marks Emirates’ 30th anniversary of operations in Singapore.

This service will be offered three times per week in June, on its Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. In Singapore, customers can book flights on EK353 to Dubai on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, and onwards to destinations that Emirates currently operates to.

Ten additional cities have also been added to Emirates’ scheduled flights: Colombo (from 20 June), Sialkot (24 June), Istanbul (from 25 June); Auckland, Beirut, Brussels, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (all from 1 July); and Barcelona and Washington DC (from 15 July).

In addition, Emirates will add flights to Singapore and the following cities in July: London Heathrow, Manchester, Frankfurt, Paris, Zurich, Madrid, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Dublin, New York JFK, Toronto, Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong.

Passengers can find more information about Emirates' flights and current services at www.emirates.com/wherewefly and are reminded to check entry and exit requirements before their journeys.
