Emirates will operate more than 100 Dubai flights on March 5 and 6 after partial regional airspace reopening, gradually restoring schedules while prioritising safety.
DUBAI: Emirates announced it will operate more than 100 Dubai flights on March 5 and 6 as some regional airspace partially reopens, allowing commercial aviation to gradually resume across parts of the Middle East.
The airline said the Dubai flights will depart from and return to Dubai, helping transport passengers to their destinations while also carrying essential cargo such as perishables and pharmaceuticals.
In a statement released on Thursday, an Emirates spokesperson said the airline is currently running a reduced flight schedule until further notice following the temporary disruption to regional airspace earlier this week.
The airline confirmed it is carefully rebuilding operations as conditions allow, prioritising the safety of passengers, crew and aircraft while monitoring developments across the region.
The spokesperson said, “Emirates will operate more than 100 flights to and from Dubai on 5th and 6th March to transport passengers to their destinations, in addition to carrying essential cargo including perishables and pharmaceuticals.”
Airlines across the region have faced operational challenges after several countries restricted or temporarily closed airspace due to security concerns. Aviation authorities have since begun reopening some corridors for commercial traffic, allowing carriers to cautiously resume services.
Emirates said the restoration of additional Dubai flights will depend on further airspace availability and the fulfilment of all operational requirements.
The airline emphasised that safety remains its top priority and confirmed that it continues to closely monitor the situation and adapt operations accordingly.
Passengers were advised to travel to the airport only if they hold a confirmed booking. Emirates also encouraged customers to regularly check its official website and social media channels for the latest updates regarding flight schedules.
More adjustments to the airline’s timetable may follow as regional airspace conditions continue to evolve.
