Emirates Media Statement – 7 March

“Following the partial re-opening of regional airspace, Emirates is operating a reduced flight schedule while working to restore full network operations. The airline anticipates a return to 100% of its network within the coming days, subject to airspace availability and the fulfilment of all operational requirements. Safety, as ever, remains paramount as is our duty of care.

Operations Update
• On March 5, Emirates carried approximately 30,000 passengers out of Dubai.
• By today, 7 March, Emirates will have 106 return daily flights operating to 83 destinations, representing almost 60% of our route network.
• In certain high-demand markets, Emirates has significantly scaled up its operations. In the UK alone, the airline will be operating 11 daily flights across five airports by 7 March, reflecting the strength of travel demand between the UAE and UK.
• Additional capacity is being deployed across India, with Emirates scaling up to 22 daily flights, serving all nine of its Indian gateways by 7 March.
