Coronavirus: Dubai’s Emirates plans air bridges to Europe for quarantine-free travel

Dubai's Emirates airline plans to open "air bridges" with countries in Europe, allowing travelers to visit countries across the continent without quarantine as governments and health authorities gradually ease coronavirus lockdown measures.. We have started talks with some countries and some cities in Europe to operate some of these flights with certain agreements," said Adel Al Redha, COO of Emirates in an interview with Al Arabiya on Tuesday.. Air bridges have been discussed in other countries, with the UK indicating earlier on Tuesday that it too would announce bridges for holidaymakers to travel overseas without entering self-isolation when they return, UK media reported.. "The decision to suspend passenger flights to and from the country is still in effect," al-Dhaheri said.. Etihad, Emirates and other Gulf airlines have been offering flights out of the UAE for those looking to return, but incoming flights are limited..
