With the resumption of its service to Argentina, which was launched for the first time in 2012, Emirates Airlines said it has recovered more than 90% of its global line network from before the pandemic, which is currently covering more than 130 destinations, including Dubai. Emirates Airlines has also announced the resumption of its flights to Rio de Janeiro andBuenos Aires, which have been suspended since the deployment of the Kovid-19.
The Galia International Airport in Rio de Janeiro organised a traditional greeting to the plane with water cannons, and passengers and crew members were welcomed by samba dancers who made a cultural offer in front of an airport management team. The UAE Boeing 777 was given a warm welcome upon arrival of the flight “EK 247” to Brazil and Argentina.
Salem Obaidullah, Vice President of the first commercial operations in Emirates Airlines for the Americas, and Stephen Berard, the Director of Emirates Airlines in Brazil, inaugurated the return of Dubai-Rio de Janeiro-Buenos Aires to cut a traditional tape before they boarded the plane that continued its itinerary to Buenos Aires.
The four EK 248/248 excursions will operate weekly service between Dubai and Rio de Janeiro, with a connecting flight to Buenos Aires.
The four times weekly EK 247 flight from Dubai International Airport departs at 8:05 and arrives in Rio de Janeiro at 3:25.
Prior to the epidemic, Emirates Airlines reports that more than 90% of its worldwide line network has been restored.
