As the pandemic started to slow down airlines are slowly rebuilding their schedules, putting out promotions, and most importantly – flying again. First, we saw Emirates resuming some flights, and now the UAE government announced that they will be allowing foreign visitors into Dubai again. In addition to Dubai opening its doors to visitors, the president of the Maldives announced that they will also open their borders for international passengers.
