Gulf carrier Emirates’ winter bookings are up year on year on some routes and it is expanding to more destinations, it said, after posting a summer season “ahead of expectations” as airlines across the region recover from the hit of the Iran war, Reuters reports.
Countries including South Africa, Brazil, India and Egypt were among the markets where demand was “currently tracking ahead of last year, alongside Nepal through Emirates’ partnership with flydubai”, the airline said in a statement.
It noted however a broader shift towards customers making travel decisions closer to departure.
