Emirates will resume its passenger services between Accra and Dubai from today 13 January, 2022, with the first flight taking off this morning at 0740hrs DXB time. Emirates will operate daily flights between Accra and Dubai and onwards to over 120 global destinations on the airline’s network.
Emirates flight EK788 departs from Accra at 18:50hrs, arriving in Dubai at 06:20hrs the next day. EK787 departs Dubai at 07:40hrs, arriving in Accra at 12:05hrs. All flights can be booked on emirates.com, with OTAs and via travel agents.
Reinstatement of operations to and from Accra was due to the remarkable leadership and initiative of the Ghanaian government, which led efforts and worked closely with other government, health and regulatory stakeholders in both Ghana and the UAE to implement and enforce rigorous health and safety protocols for travellers.
All passengers with Dubai as their final destination must present a negative COVID-19 PCR test certificate with a QR code for a test conducted at an approved PCR testing laboratory within 48 hours of departure. Approved laboratories are: LEDing, Frontier, Airport Clinic, MDS-Lancet and Akai House Clinic. Validity must be calculated from the time the sample was collected.
Passengers must also present a negative COVID-19 Rapid or Real Time PCR test certificate with a QR code for a test conducted at the departure airport within 6 hours of departure. Approved laboratories for rapid testing are LEDing and Frontier, which are both a walking distance from Terminal 3.
Emirates will only take the original stamped and signed hard copy of COVID-19 PCR & Rapid PCR test certificate with a QR code from approved laboratories to be accepted for travel, and all documents must be presented upon check-in. All PCR Tests will be validated through the Trusted Travel/PanaBios Platform.
Upon arrival in Dubai, passengers will undergo an additional Covid-19 PCR test and remain in self quarantine until the results of the test are received. Children under the age of 12 are exempted.
Passengers travelling from Ghana (ACC) and transiting in Dubai are only required to follow the rules and requirements of their final destination.
