Emirates confirmed flights will resume from 15:00 UAE time on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at the earliest. Travelers are advised to check flight status, with rebooking and refund options provided for affected passengers.(m.economictimes.com)

Some limited flights resumed late Monday, prioritizing passengers rebooked on alternative schedules. Emirates urged travelers not to go to the airport unless they had received confirmation to avoid further congestion and confusion.
Impact and Safety Precautions
The disruption has affected thousands of holidaymakers and business travelers, highlighting the importance of safety amid regional conflicts. Emirates and airport authorities continue to monitor the situation, resuming normal operations only once airspace restrictions are lifted.(gulfnews.com)
