Emirates new routes: "Magazines and other print reading material will not be available" onboard
BY STUART PRESTIDGE ON APRIL 14, 2020 - PassengerTerminalToday
Emirates is planning to operate passenger services to Jakarta, Manila, Taipei, Chicago, Tunis, Algiers and Kabul in addition to the already commenced operation to London and Frankfurt.
These services will facilitate residents and visitors wishing to return home.
Only citizens of the destination country and those who meet the entry requirements will be allowed to board. Passengers will be required to comply with each country’s requirement.
There will be no online check in and seat selection available and services such as chauffeur drive and lounge will not be available in any of the destinations.
Emirates will also offer amended services on these flights. Magazines and other print reading material will not be available, while food and beverages will continue to be offered but with modified packaging to reduce contact during meal service.
Cabin baggage will not be accepted on these flights. Carry-on items allowed in the cabin will be limited to laptop, handbag, briefcase or baby items. All other items must be checked in, and Emirates will add the cabin baggage allowance to customers’ check-in baggage allowance.
Passengers are required to apply social distancing guidelines during their journey and wear their own masks when at the airport and on board the aircraft.
