Richard Jewsbury, Divisional Vice President UK at Emirates commented, “We’re incredibly pleased to resume Emirates flights to and from Newcastle, helping reconnect communities and businesses in the North East with Emirates’ extensive global network.

"Since the UAE (Uniuted Arab Emirates) moved to the UK’s ‘amber list’, we’ve seen huge demand from passengers eagerly making travel plans - whether it’s to see family and friends, for education, business, or a long-awaited holiday.

Newcastle International chief executive Nick Jones said the resumption of flights was good news for passengers: “We are delighted that Emirates has brought forward its return to Newcastle International Airport and the North East with four weekly flights throughout the winter starting from October 15.

"A change of flight times to an evening departure will mean passengers can maximise their stay in Dubai whether on holiday or business whilst also ensuring connectivity to worldwide destinations via the Emirates network.”

With the UAE having moved onto the UK’s ‘amber’ list for travel, travellers arriving in the UK from Dubai will no longer need to self-isolate providing they have been fully vaccinated in the UK, EU or US.
