Emirates resumes flight operations from Dubai after temporary suspension

Emirates said it has resumed flight operations after temporarily suspending services to and from Dubai International Airport earlier due to safety concerns.

In an update posted on X, the airline said passengers with confirmed bookings for flights departing later in the day may proceed to the airport. This also applies to travellers transiting through Dubai if their connecting flights are operating.

“Emirates will resume operations. Passengers who have confirmed bookings for this afternoon’s flights may proceed to the airport. This includes customers transiting in Dubai, if their connecting flight is also operating,” the airline said.



The airline advised passengers to check the schedule of upcoming flights and seat availability through its official channels before travelling to the airport. Emirates added that it continues to monitor the situation and will adjust its operational schedule accordingly.
