Throughout the pandemic, Emirates has been helping its customers travel safely and confidently, implementing industry-leading health and safety measures at every point of the travel journey, helping communities reconnect faster, and facilitating economic recovery.

The airline has also been working hard to provide up-to-date, comprehensive travel information to its customers, as well as speeding up processes on the ground through digital verification for Covid-19  via the IATA Travel Pass, as well as touchless check-in and biometrics processing.

Ensuring the safety of travellers, visitors, and the community, Covid-19 PCR tests are mandatory for all inbound passengers arriving to Dubai, including UAE citizens, residents and tourists, irrespective of the country they are coming from.
