Dubai’s Emirates has returned over 5 billion dirhams ($1.4 billion) in coronavirus related travel refunds so far, a statement issued by the airline Monday read.The airline has been making public efforts to support customers throughout the pandemic, which has caused an unprecedented global slowdown in travel earlier this year as authorities closed borders in a bid to contain the spread of COVID-19. Many borders between countries continue to remain closed.“We understand that from our customers' standpoint, each pending refund request is one too many. We are committed to honouring refunds and are trying our utmost to clear the massive and unprecedented backlog that was caused by the pandemic,” Sir Tim Clark, president of Emirates Airline said in the statement.For more coronavirus news, visit our dedicated page.“Most cases are straightforward, and these we will process quickly.

We are grateful to our customers for their patience and understanding,” he added.Since March, Emirates says it has completed more than 1.4 million refunds, which represents around 90 percent of the backlog in requests. In April, the airline said it would begin to use its cash reserves to speed up processing of the refunds.For all the latest headlines follow our Google News channel online or via the app.Later in July, Emirates announced that it was continuing to expand its processing capability to get through the refund backlog, with the airline ramping up processing from an average of 35,000 a month to nearly 200,000 requests a month.Emirates has continued to expand its network after all passenger flights were originally cancelled to and from Dubai, the airline’s home.
