Following the partial re-opening of regional airspace, Emirates is operating a reduced flight schedule while working to restore full network operations.
Emirates carried approximately 30,000 passengers out of Dubai on 5 March. By Saturday, 7 March, the airline will have 106 daily return flights operating to 83 destinations, representing almost 60% of its route network.
In certain high-demand markets, Emirates has significantly scaled up its operations. In the UK, Emirates will be operating 11 daily flights across five airports by 7 March. Additional capacity is also being deployed across India, with 22 daily flights, serving all nine of its Indian gateways by 7 March. In the United States, Emirates currently operates to seven of its American gateways, ensuring continued connectivity between the US and the UAE during this period.
Besides, a spokesperson for the airline said that Emirates will operate more than 100 flights to and from Dubai on 6 March to transport passengers to their destinations, in addition to carrying essential cargo, including perishables and pharmaceuticals.
Meanwhile, Etihad Airways will restart a limited commercial flight schedule from Friday, 6 March, with services operating between Abu Dhabi and several major international destinations.
Air Arabia has extended its suspension of flights to and from the UAE until 3pm on Monday, 9 March, amid ongoing regional disruptions.
In addition, limited flight operations have resumed at Zayed International Airport (AUH) following a period of disruption, in coordination with the Emergencies, Crises and Disasters Management Center – Abu Dhabi (ADCMC).
