Dubai: Emirates airline plans to ramp up its capacity to 70 per cent of pre-COVID-19 levels by the end of 2021. That s an objective we have. and we re committed to achieving, but again, many of these factors are determined by various governments, said Adnan Al Kazim, Emirates Chief Commercial Officer, during the Arabian Travel Market conference. The executive said he was optimistic about the rapid rollout of vaccines in the US and Europe resulting in the opening up of international borders and resumption of flights.
Al Kazim added that Emirates would add more capacity ahead of Dubai’s Expo event, which is set to start in October and expected to attract millions of visitors. For us, we definitely need to map the exact capacity and the network to meet that requirement for the Expo, said Al Kazim.
Emirates has commenced trials of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Travel Pass– a mobile app to help passengers easily and securely manage their travel in line with any government requirements for Covid-19 testing or vaccine information.
