Flights from Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Pakistan will only carry outbound passengers to the United Arab Emirates and onward destinations, however.

"Thanks to the UAE authorities' support and partnership, Emirates has been able to provide smooth and safe journeys for those who need to travel, and we look forward adding flights to more destinations in the coming weeks," said Adnan Kazim, Emirates' chief commercial officer.

"The UAE government's recent announcement to ease travel for UAE citizens and residents show the thorough approach that our country is taking with regards to resuming economic activities, and as we gradually return to regular services, Emirates' number one priority will always be the health and safety of our customers, our crew and our communities."

Customers will be able to book to fly between destinations in the Middle East, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Americas, granted they meet the travel and immigration entry requirements of their destination country.

Complimentary hygiene kits containing masks, gloves, hand sanitiser and antibacterial wipes will also be provided to all customers on their flights.
