In Monday’s announcement, Emirates’ Chairman and Chief Executive, His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, said,
“We welcome the Covid-Tested flight arrangements and would like to thank the Italian and UAE authorities for their ongoing efforts to ease and facilitate international travel. The UAE has a strong and longstanding relationship with Italy and the safe return of air connectivity will help boost mutual trade and tourism. As a global commercial hub, and home to people from more than 200 nations, Dubai and the UAE have spared no effort to keep communities safe from the pandemic - from our world-leading vaccination programme to our bio-safety protocols across all sectors including recreation and entertainment facilities, to schools, businesses and airports. We hope that more countries will consider similar arrangements to facilitate quarantine-free travel.”
Starting today (June 2, 2021), Emirates customers two years and older traveling to Italy must hold a negative COVID-19 PCR-RT or Rapid Antigen test valid for 48 hours prior to departure. Upon arrival in Italy, passengers will also be required to take a Rapid Antigen swab test at their own cost.
