About 1.7 million passengers carried by the airline over the past two weeks
Emirates announced that its scheduled flights have resumed normal operations after a limited impact on some routes due to the disruption the region witnessed on the evening of Monday, June 23 this month, stressing that the vast majority of passengers' travel plans were not significantly affected.
In a press release published on its official website, the airline explained that it immediately activated its contingency and operational response plans, without the need to divert most flights, with a limited number of cancellations recorded, while some flights had to take longer routes due to airspace congestion.
Emirates said it maintained regular operations over the past two weeks despite fast-moving regional events, continuing to operate more than 5,800 flights and serving about 1.7 million passengers across its global network, while making operational adjustments to avoid areas of disruption.
The airline noted that it temporarily suspended flights to directly affected destinations, including Beirut and Muscat, before later resuming them, stressing that all operational decisions are made based on periodic assessments of the situation and in coordination with the relevant authorities.
Emirates stressed that the safety of passengers and crew remains its top priority and that it does not operate any flight until it has fully confirmed the safety of the air route, noting that it continues to monitor developments and update its operating plans in line with internationally approved safety standards.
The statement added that booking and customer service teams worked to rebook affected passengers, while the airline continued to publish operational updates on its official website and social media channels.
Emirates affirmed that it continues to prepare for the peak summer season in coordination with the relevant authorities, to ensure that operations continue smoothly and that customers can travel to their destinations with confidence and safety.
