Emirates has announced the reopening of six routes, meaning the airline's network will serve 58 cities by mid-August.



Among the cities listed is Sao Paulo (August 2), the first city in South America the Dubai airline has reopened flights to since March.



On Thursday, Emirates said it will also resume flights to Geneva (July 15), Los Angeles (July 22), Dar es Salaam (August 1), Prague (August 2) and Boston (August 15).



Two days ago, Etihad also announced it will be servicing 58 destinations by August.





"We've seen an uptick in customer interest and demand since the announcement of Dubai's re-opening," said Adnan Kazim, Emirates' chief commercial officer.



He also noted that an increase in destinations has caused an uplift in transit flights, with Emirates now connecting many people across the globe, via Dubai.



Before the pandemic, Emirates flew to more than 150 destinations.
