Hong Kong relaxed its testing and vaccine pass requirements late last year, while China reopened its borders for the first time since the start of the pandemic on 8 January.


The Gulf carrier will restore a twice-weekly Shanghai service from 20 January, increasing to a non-stop daily service from 1 March.


Daily non-stop Beijing flights will resume from 15 March, while from 1 February, Emirates will extend its current four-times-weekly Guangzhou service to a non-stop daily service.


Emirates will then extend its Hong Kong schedule with an additional non-stop daily service starting 29 March, in response to "growing demand on the route".
