Dubai-based Emirates airline on Monday operated a flight with fully
vaccinated frontline teams servicing passengers at every touchpoint of
the travel journey.
Accordingly, flight EK215 from Dubai-Los
Angeles was supported by fully vaccinated check-in, security, Business
and First Class lounge and boarding gate employees, as well as
engineers, pilots and cabin crew.
"Also supporting the flight's
operations were fully vaccinated aircraft appearance, loading and
special handling teams from dnata, as well as SkyCargo teams working on
the cargo and logistics requirements for EK215," the airline said in a
statement.
"The Emirates Group rolled out its vaccination drive
at pace just over a month ago, and since then, close to 26,000, or 44
per cent, of the Group's UAE frontline aviation workforce have received
both doses of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Sinopharm vaccines."
According to the statement, nearly 5,000 cabin and flight deck crew have opted to receive both doses of the Covid-19 vaccine.
In addition, the statement said that thousands more Emirates Group
employees in other roles have taken their Covid-19 vaccine through the
company's clinics and vaccination centres, while others have opted to
take their vaccine at one of the many vaccination centres across the
UAE.
