As a preventive measure against the spread of COVID-19, passengers will need to wear their own masks when at the airport and on board the aircraft at all times, in addition to maintaining social distancing during the check-in and boarding procedure.
As the situation remains dynamic at all ports of entry due to COVID-19, passengers are requested to verify up-to-date information regarding the procedures to be followed prior to and upon arrival at their country of destination.
As passengers will not be allowed to travel on the Dubai – Seychelles sector, the returning flight will be an all based cargo operation.
