Emirates' special 'fully vaccinated' flight takes to the skies

Emirates Airline marked the UAE’s remarkable progress in its vaccination programme with a special flight on Saturday.

Only fully vaccinated crew and passengers were onboard the Airbus A380 which travelled from Dubai, making a round trip across the seven emirates.

The flight celebrates the UAE reaching its milestone of vaccinating more than half the country’s population against COVID-19 last month.
