Emirates also announced that it will resume flights between Dubai and Cebu, in the Philippines, from August 20, and between Dubai and Houston, Texas, in the US, from August 23.
This will bring the airline’s network to 74 destinations operating through its Dubai hub.

On board, the airline is giving hygiene kits containing masks, gloves, hand sanitiser and antibacterial wipes to all customers.
