Dubai: Emirates is gearing up for a busy travel period for Eid Al Fitr by deploying an additional 17 flights to destinations in the Middle East/GCC from 26th March to 6th April. This strategic move is set to accommodate the anticipated surge in travelers during the festive season.
According to Emirates News Agency, over 371,000 customers are expected to fly with the airline during the Eid Al Fitr break from around the region. Emirates is planning additional flights to key destinations including Jeddah, Kuwait, Dammam, and Amman to meet this increased demand.
