TDT | Manama

An Emirates flight arrived at Bahrain International Airport yesterday afternoon, marking the airline’s first flight carrying passengers to the Kingdom in about three months. The airline is set to operate seven flights a week between Dubai and Manama using their Boeing 777-300ER aircraft that will carry cargo and passengers returning to the Kingdom for emergency purposes.

Passengers can also travel onwards to various locations within the Emirates airline network through Dubai. Travel restrictions still persist in most countries, and Emirates reminds its customers that they must check entry and exit requirements to their destinations before joining their flights.

Flights from Dubai to some international cities in the Asia Pacific region, Europe and the Americas are currently open. Flight EK839, which arrived in Bahrain yesterday, departed from Dubai International Airport. The return Emirates flight EK840 left Bahrain International Airport shortly afterwards.
