Emirates has flown a fully vaccinated passenger ‘flight to nowhere’ as the aviation industry prepares to bounce back following global Covid travel restrictions.

Flight EK2021 – given a special flight number – was staffed by fully vaccinated flight crew and staff on the ground.

The A380aircraft, which had 400 inoculated passengers onboard, departed its home base of Dubai on 10 April and circled the Emirates twice, briefly crossing into Oman, before landing back in the city.

All passengers onboard were given rapid Covid-19 tests, said the airline, and they had their passports stamped with a special “Choose to Vaccinate” commemorative mark.
