The airline will continue to operate cargo flights.
Until 25 March, the situation remains dynamic and the flight schedules may change at short notice to comply with regulatory directives or operational requirements. The airline aims to provide affected customers with updated information as early as possible.
The UAE Government has temporarily suspended visas on arrival from 19 March. This includes those for countries eligible for visa issuance on arrival for a renewable period of two weeks with the exception of transit passengers.
