[Emirates Airlines 'Restart' Countdown, 60% of Routes to Resume on March 7] Emirates Airlines stated that as the world's largest international airline seeks to recover from a week-long suspension caused by airspace closures due to the Middle East conflict, it expects to resume full route operations in the coming days. In a statement on Friday, Emirates Airlines noted that the resumption of commercial flight activities depends on the reopening of airspace and the fulfillment of all operational requirements. The airline reported that approximately 30,000 passengers departed Dubai on Thursday. By March 7, Emirates Airlines will operate 106 daily round-trip flights to 83 destinations, accounting for nearly 60% of its route network. Previously, the Dubai flagship airline had to cancel thousands of flights due to retaliatory strikes from Iran, which forced the United Arab Emirates to close its airspace and caused minor structural damage to its hub—Dubai International Airport.
