Emirates to resume Clark services

MANILA, Philippines — Emirates, the first airline globally to offer its passengers free cover for COVID-19 medical expenses and quarantine costs, is resuming its passenger services to Clark tomorrow.

The Dubai-based airline said it would operate six weekly flights to Clark beginning Saturday, boosting its global network to 68 destinations in August and connecting customers to Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific and Africa.

With the resumption of flights between Clark and Dubai, Emirates will now operate with scheduled services to two gateways in the Philippines, with services to Manila being in operation since June 11 with daily flights.

Emirates said all flights to Clark will be operated with a Boeing 777-300ER and are scheduled at two convenient timings per week to meet customers’ travel needs.

“Customers are reminded that travel restrictions remain in place, and travelers will only be accepted on flights if they comply with the eligibility and entry criteria requirements of their destination countries,” the airline said.

Emirates assures that a comprehensive set of measures to ensure the safety of its customers and employees on the ground and in the air are being implemented.

Emirates has also committed to cover all COVID-19-related medical expenses of guests should they be diagnosed with COVID-19 during their travel.

The cover is offered by Emirates free of cost to its customers regardless of class of travel or destination.
