Dubai-based carrier Emirates has announced that it will resume operations to four more destinations in the month of July.
Emirates will add Cairo, Tunis, Glasgow and Malé to its network, the media reported.
Earlier this week the carrier announced additional passenger flights, including Khartoum from July 3, Amman from July 5, Osaka from July 7, Narita from July 8, along with Athens, Larnaca and Rome from July 15.
More flights to London Heathrow, Manchester, Frankfurt, Paris, Zurich, Madrid, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Dublin, New York JFK, Toronto, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Hong Kong will also be introduced in July.
Emirates would need to redefine its post-pandemic strategy to recover from the damage done by the coronavirus pandemic, according to its chief operating officer.
“We will need to redefine some of the operating model … because surely what used to work for us in the past is not going to work for us going forward,” Adel Ahmad Al Redha told Reuters.
According to him, Emirates would focus on getting more passengers to visit Dubai while continuing to “connect the world” through the hub-and-spoke model it relied on for over three decades.
Emirates has announced that it will raise debt in order to help the company weather the coronavirus crisis, the media reported.
Emirates warned that it might take up to 18 months for the aviation sector to recover from the setbacks caused by the pandemic. The company reported a 21 percent increase in profit for its financial year that ended on March 31.
It is still unclear how much debt Emirates is planning to raise.
