Emirates Iftar flight to Gulf countries and India

The Ramadan season is here and Dubai-based airline major Emirates has lined up a special Iftar service to its Muslim customers to help passengers break their fast during journey.

Customers travelling to destinations in the Middle East, Gulf and Indian subcontinent region will be served a special Iftar box by sunset, the airline has said. The Iftar box contains humus with crudities, olives served with Arabic bread and chicken shawarma sandwiches, dates, a banana, a yoghurt drink and an Arabic pastry.

Besides, customers preparing to board the Emirates aircraft at Dubai International Airport during the Iftar period will be offered snack boxes at the boarding gate. This will help them break their Ramadan fast, prior to enjoying full meals onboard.  The snack box contains water, dates, a yoghurt drink and an Arabic pastry. This service is also being provided to Emirates customers at a number of other destinations across the network.

With the longer daylight hours during summer, Emirates has said that extra Iftar boxes from Dubai would also be available onboard some afternoon flights to Europe, to cater for those customers whom will break their fast prior to arrival or after reaching their destinations. According to an Emirates senior official, during the holy month of the Islamic calendar, the airline major would like to ensure that our Muslim customers are comfortable while travelling with the airline by providing special Iftar services.

Emirates, which has already become renowned as one of the world’s fastest growing international airlines, has earned a reputation for service and innovation. Since its launch in 1985, it has won over 400 international awards for excellence across its business. The airline operates services to over 100 cities on six continents.
