Emirates to restart direct flights to Phuket
Emirates will resume four weekly services to the Thai holiday island of Phuket from 2 July 2021, as the tourism hotspot reopens for international tourists.
Thailand will allow vaccinated travellers to enjoy quarantine-free travel on the island.
The Dubai-Phuket route will be operated with a three-class 777-300ER offering premium services in First and Business Class as well as Economy Class.
Emirates flight EK378 will depart Dubai on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at 03:00, arriving at Phuket International Airport at 12:30hrs the same day.
The return flight, EK379, will depart Phuket at 00:10 on Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays, arriving in Dubai at 03:05 the same day.
Emirates resumed flights to Bangkok in September 2020, providing a daily service.
Flights to Phuket can be booked by visiting www.emirates.com where all details on mandatory documentation requied for non-Thai nationals can be found.
Emirates has been gradually rebuilding its global network and has resumed passenger services to over 120 destinations, allowing travellers to conveniently connect to the Americas, Europe, Africa, Middle East, and Asia Pacific via Dubai.
The airline has also recently introduced contactless technology to ease the customer journey through Dubai airport.
