Emirates restores 93% of pre-conflict network, banks on India demand
The airline is currently operating flights to 144 destinations globally, compared with around 150 before the conflict began on February 28
Emirates has successfully restored 96% of its pre-conflict network, with passenger traffic currently at 93% of earlier levels, according to Essa Sulaiman Ahmad, the airline's senior vice-president for West Asia and Indian Ocean. The airline is set to introduce its Airbus A380 to Delhi from October 25, upgrading its cabin product in one of its key Indian markets.
However, corporate travel remains slower to recover due to company travel advisories and restrictions under employee insurance policies, despite businesses wanting to resume normal operations. The airline has introduced greater flexibility in bookings to reassure customers during the disruption and will roll out premium economy across all four daily Delhi services.
