Emirates customers also have seamless access to other US cities via the airline’s codeshare agreements with Jetblue and Alaskan Airlines. Flights to and from Orlando will operate four times weekly on Emirates’ two-class Boeing 777-200LR. Emirates flight EK219 will depart Dubai at 08:55, arriving in Orlando at 16:30 while the return flight EK220 will depart Orlando at 21:00, arriving in Dubai at 19:10 the next day.
Emirates has safely and gradually restarted operations across its network. Since the resumption of its safe tourism activity July, Dubai remains one of the most popular holiday destinations, especially during the winter season. The city is open for international business and leisure visitors though many attractions are operating at reduced capacity due to the sudden rise in COVID-19 cases.
