Addressing the Peak Travel Period

In anticipation of the high travel demand during the Eid Al Fitr holiday, Emirates is taking proactive steps to enhance its services and offer more flights for passengers. This increased capacity across the GCC and Middle East is expected to benefit over 110,000 customers during this festive season.

The additional flights will cover six key cities in the region, including Riyadh, Dammam, Jeddah, Medina, Kuwait, and Beirut. These strategic enhancements aim to offer better connectivity, convenience, and options for holidaymakers looking to spend time with their loved ones or embark on an exciting adventure.

Expansion in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait

To cater to the needs of Saudi travelers, Emirates will add four extra flights between Riyadh and Dubai from April 19-29. Moreover, in Jeddah, the airline will operate three daily A380 flights and add six Boeing 777 flights between April 20-25 to cope with the peak travel period.

Meanwhile, in Kuwait, Emirates is set to operate eight additional flights with its Boeing 777 aircraft between April 20-27. This move aims to offer Kuwaiti travelers more options and flexibility during their Eid holiday travels. Popular destinations among passengers from Kuwait include Dubai, Maldives, Phuket, Bangkok, London, Mauritius, and Milan.

Additional Services for Medina and Beirut Passengers

Recognizing the importance of accommodating Umrah travelers and early holiday seekers, Emirates is offering 16 additional flights to Medina throughout April. This increased frequency allows passengers to conveniently plan their journeys during this busy travel period.

To further accommodate travelers, the airline is adding an extra flight to its existing Beirut schedule on April 23. This ensures that more passengers can travel home to spend quality time with friends and relatives during the Eid celebrations.

Celebrating Eid with Special Onboard and Lounge Offerings
