This includes customers transiting in Dubai, if their connecting flight is also operating." The airline added that it "continues to monitor the situation, and we will develop our operational schedule accordingly."
The Dubai Media Office posted the following on social media at 12:18 p.m. local time: "Emirates Airlines resumes its operations this Saturday afternoon."
