Emirates expects to fly 70% of normal capacity by winter, CCO says
Emirates plans to operate around 70% of its normal capacity this winter thanks to an expected increase in international travel as countries ease coronavirus restrictions and reopen borders. Emirates, the world’s biggest long-haul airline before the pandemic, has been gradually rebuilding its network of 157 passenger destinations since flights were grounded in March 2020. It is currently operating to around 120 destinations, though capacity remains limited due to the continued grounding of most of the airline’s 118 Airbus A380 superjumbos. “We already have a plan to get back to almost 70% of our capacity to be recovered by winter 2021,” Emirates CCO Adnan Kazim said Tuesday. He did not disclose its current operating capacity, although he added that the airline had a way to go to reach 70%.<br/>
