MSC Working with Airlines to Speed Up Guest Returns from Middle East
MSC Cruises said it is cooperating with airline partners in the Middle East, particularly Emirates and Etihad Airways, to identify and secure return flights for its guests.
“We are requesting priority for our guests from our partners. At present, airlines operating flights have indicated that they will follow an order of priority based on the original flight date,” MSC said in a statement.
Other options such as charter flights from Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Muscat, are also being explored in order to speed up the repatriation.
