The Israeli-U.S. strikes in Iran are affecting global businesses and economies. Since the war broke out, exports and imports have been affected.
In the aviation industry, flights – especially to Middle East countries – are being held with strict security measures.
On March 5, Emirates confirmed that it is currently operating a reduced flight schedule until further notice. This follows the partial re-opening of regional airspace for the safe conduct of commercial flights.
“For 5 and 6 March, over 100 flights will depart from Dubai and return. These flights will carry people eager to reach their final destinations, as well as essential cargo like perishables and pharmaceuticals,” the global airline’s statement reads.
Emirates will continue to gradually build back its flying schedule, subject to airspace availability and all operational requirements being met. Safety is always our top priority, it added.
“We continue to monitor the situation and adapt our operations accordingly.”
For now, the company said customers should only proceed to the airport if they have a confirmed booking.
“We urge all customers to check emirates.com and our official social media channels, where we will publish the latest updates.”
