Flight operations have gradually resumed in major UAE airports, including the Dubai International Airport and Abu Dhabi’s Zayed International Airport, on Wednesday morning, though major carriers have warned passengers to check flight status and travel to airports only if their booking is confirmed.
Etihad announced it was operating a limited schedule from Abu Dhabi to key destinations, but planned to expand its flight schedule. Emirates said it was operating a reduced flight schedule from Dubai. Passengers booked to travel between Feb 28 and April 15 whose flights have been disrupted can rebook on alternate flights or request a refund, the statement from Emirates said.
flydubai has resumed operations with a reduced schedule, while Air Arabia has also resumed a limited number of flights to and from the UAE, including destinations in India, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and more.
