Coronavirus: Emirates takes special measures and cancels flights to destinations affected by COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the entire planet. Almost all the states of the world are facing the new Coronavirus. In an attempt to stop the spread of the virus, governments have come to make tough decisions, including closing borders.
Struck by these measures, the aeronautical industry is at an all-time low. Most airlines have curtailed the operational program, and some have even suspended all activities.
Even Emirates, one of the richest (if we can say so) airlines in the world, has taken special measures in accordance with the restrictions imposed by the governments of the countries to which it flies.
