Emirates is preparing for an increased travel demand during the Eid Al Fitr period by adding 17 flights to its schedule, targeting destinations in the Middle East and GCC. The additional flights will be operational from March 26 to April 6.

The airline anticipates that over 371,000 passengers will fly with them during this festive period. To accommodate this, Emirates has planned extra flights to Jeddah, Kuwait, Dammam, and Amman. These additions aim to provide more options for those traveling home or seeking new experiences.

Specifically, Emirates will introduce six flights to and from Amman, five between Dammam and Dubai, four from Jeddah, and two additional services from Kuwait. This expanded schedule offers flexibility for travelers heading to Dubai—a popular destination during Eid—and beyond to places like Bangkok, Phuket, the UK, the US, South Africa, Mumbai, Karachi, and Cairo.
