Emirates resumes afternoon flights after Dubai airport announces pause
What's the story
Emirates Airlines has announced the resumption of its afternoon flights after a brief suspension. Passengers with confirmed bookings for today's flights are allowed to head to the airport, including those transiting through Dubai. However, this is subject to their connecting flight's status. The airline has reiterated that passenger and crew safety remains its top priority during this period.
Rebooking and refund
What about passengers affected by flight suspension?
Passengers who were affected by the flight suspension have two options. They can either rebook their flights to their intended destination for travel on or before April 30. If they booked through a travel agent, they should contact them directly. For direct bookings, changes can be made at emirat.es/support. Alternatively, passengers can request a refund via emirat.es/refund if they wish to cancel their travel plans altogether.
Check-in closure
Other important updates for passengers
In addition to the flight resumption, all city check-in points across Dubai are temporarily closed until further notice. These have been attributed to explosions heard in Dubai on Saturday. Passengers are advised to ensure their contact details are correct at emirat.es/managebooking to receive timely updates about their flights and any changes that may occur due to this situation.
