Emirates Airline has announced that passengers travelling to Dubai from a host of destinations - including India, Pakistan, the Philippines and parts of the United States - will require a negative Covid-19 test before boarding its flights.
The Dubai carrier said the new safety guidelines will come into force from Friday.
Emirates said passengers must obtain a negative test certificate issued by a local government approved laboratory in order to board a flight with the airline.
The certificates must be issued no more than 96 hours before the passenger's departure date.
"Where specified, a certificate from a UAE government designated laboratory in the country of origin is also acceptable," the Emirates statement said.
The safety measures were confirmed just a day after Dubai began to welcome back tourists to the emirate.
