We apologise for any inconvenience caused to our customers. We continue to closely monitor developments. The safety of our passengers, employees and operations will always be our top priority.

Due to the recent regional situation, a number of Emirates flights were rerouted enroute to Dubai on 23 June, but there were no diversions.

After a thorough and careful risk assessment, Emirates will continue to operate flights as scheduled, using flight paths well distanced from conflict areas.

Some flights may incur delays due to longer re-routings or airspace congestion, but Emirates' teams are working hard to keep to schedule and minimise any disruption or inconvenience to our customers.

 Customer advisory:

• We advise all customers to check flight status before proceeding to the airport.
• Customers impacted by flight cancellations must contact their travel agency for rebooking. If booked directly with Emirates, please contact us.

We apologise to customers affected by the disruption, and are assisting them with rebooking, refunds, or alternative travel arrangements.

Emirates will continue to actively monitor the situation, engage with relevant stakeholders, and adjust our operations in line with the latest updates. We adhere to all regulatory requirements for our operations, and follow bulletins issued by the aviation authorities.

The safety and security of our passengers and crew are our absolute priority. We will only ever fly if it is safe to do so.
