Emirates announced that it will begin operating a limited number of flights starting from the evening of March 2, 2026, as regional airspace closures continue to impact overall flight operations and scheduling across the region.

According to the airline’s official website, priority will be given to customers with existing bookings, and passengers who have been rebooked onto these limited services will be contacted directly with detailed information regarding departure times and travel procedures.

The carrier urged customers not to proceed to the airport unless they receive a formal notification, emphasizing the need to manage airport flow efficiently and avoid unnecessary congestion during the current operational constraints.

Emirates confirmed that all other flights will remain suspended until further notice, while the airline continues to closely monitor developments and adjust its operational schedule accordingly, with updates to be published عبر its official website and social media channels.

Passengers have been advised to regularly check the status of their flights through emirates.com and to review the email address linked to their booking before heading to the airport to stay informed of any changes or cancellations.

The airline also confirmed that customers may rebook to their original destination for travel up to March 20, by contacting their travel agency if the ticket was issued through one, or by reaching out directly to Emirates in the case of direct bookings, with refund requests available through the online refund form for direct reservations or via travel agencies for indirect bookings.

Affected passengers are encouraged to contact their travel agents for rebooking assistance or communicate directly with the airline if they booked through its channels, while ensuring their contact details are updated in the Manage Booking section to receive the latest notifications.

Emirates further announced the temporary closure of all city check-in facilities in Dubai until further notice, reiterating that the safety and security of its passengers and crew remain its highest priority at all times.
