An Emirates flight landed earlier today at Bahrain International Airport - marking the airline’s resumption of flights carrying passengers to the kingdom.

The airline is set to operate seven weekly flights from Bahrain to Dubai utilising its Boeing 777-300ER aircraft to carry cargo as well as passengers travelling home or for essential purposes.

Customers can also connect safely and efficiently through Dubai to onward Emirates’ destinations, including select cities in Asia Pacific and Europe or the Americas.

Travel restrictions remain in place in most countries, customers are reminded to check entry and exit requirements before their journeys, Emirates said.

Flights to and from Bahrain will be available for booking on emirates.com or via travel agents.

Emirates has implemented a comprehensive set of measures at every step of the customer journey to ensure the safety of its customers and employees on the ground and in the air, including the distribution of complimentary hygiene kits containing masks, gloves, hand sanitiser and antibacterial wipes to all customers, said the airline.
