Emirates plans for full flight network restoration in coming days after partial airspace reopening
Emirates said it is working to restore its full flight network after the partial reopening of regional airspace, with the airline currently operating a reduced schedule while gradually ramping up services.
The airline in a post on X, said it expects to return to 100% of its network in the coming days, subject to airspace availability and operational requirements. The airline emphasised that safety remains its top priority as it rebuilds operations disrupted by the ongoing Middle East tensions.
In an operational update, Emirates said it carried around 30,000 passengers out of Dubai on Thursday as flights resumed across several routes.
By March 7, the airline expects to operate 106 daily return flights to 83 destinations, representing nearly 60% of its global route network.
More flights to India, UK, US
Emirates said it has increased capacity on several high-demand routes as travel gradually normalises.
In the United Kingdom, the airline will operate 11 daily flights across five airports by March 7, reflecting strong travel demand between the UAE and the UK.
The carrier is also expanding services to India, where it plans to operate 22 daily flights serving all nine Indian gateways by the same date.
In the United States, Emirates said it is currently operating flights to seven American destinations, ensuring continued connectivity between the US and the UAE.
Priority for existing bookings
The airline said passengers with earlier bookings are being prioritised as services resume. Customers have been advised to travel to the airport only if they hold confirmed bookings, as schedules remain limited while operations scale up.
The airline added that it continues to monitor the situation closely and will adjust flight schedules as required. The airline has urged travellers to check its website and official social media channels for the latest updates on flight availability and schedule changes.
