Earlier this year, Emirates renewed its commitment to Seychelles by signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Seychelles Tourism Board at Expo 2020. The agreement reaffirms the airline's commitment to the island-nation, and outlines various initiatives to promote trade and tourism to the country.
Emirates has safely restarted operations to more than 120 destinations within its global network, via Dubai. The airline has led the industry with its innovative products and services, including a comprehensive set of health and safety measures at every step of the journey, contactless technology at Dubai Airport, generous and flexible booking policies, and Covid-19 medical travel insurance.
