Emirates has also updated their temporary travel options for customers booked to fly between February 28 and March 31.

Passengers may choose to rebook on an alternative flight to the same destination for travel on or before 30 April, or request a full refund of their ticket. Customers who booked through a travel agent have been advised to contact them directly, while those who booked with Emirates can contact the airline or apply for a refund online.

The airline urged passengers to ensure their contact details are up to date through the “Manage Your Booking” service so they can receive the latest updates.

Emirates also confirmed that all city check-in points across Dubai have been temporarily closed until further notice.
