Those who are exempt from the latest extended delay are UAE Nationals, holders of the UAE golden visas, and members of diplomatic missions who comply with the updated COVID-19 protocols.

If you or someone you know have flights that have been cancelled or impacted due to the route suspensions, Emirates asks that you hold on to your tickets and when flights resume, you can get in touch with the airline to change the booking.
