Limited Flights Resume in Dubai After Early-Morning Disruptions

Air travel in Dubai has begun to gradually resume after disruptions earlier today, with Emirates confirming that a limited number of flights would restart operations from 10am local time.

In a statement, the airline said:

However, the airline also confirmed that several flights scheduled for today have been cancelled as a result of the earlier disruption.

Passengers whose flights have been affected will receive notifications directly from the airline. According to Emirates, impacted travellers will be informed about reaccommodation options, including rebooking on alternative flights where possible.

The airline said:

“Unfortunately, some flights from today’s schedule have been cancelled. Affected customers will receive a cancellation notice and will be advised on reaccommodation options. We apologise for the inconvenience caused.”
