Emirates, Etihad Restart Some Flights Amid Iranian Strikes

Emirates and Etihad Airways will resume limited operations as the carriers seek to ease some of the congestion caused by the airspace closing in the wake of the ongoing Iranian attacks.

Emirates will begin operating a limited number of flights starting later on Monday, prioritizing customers with earlier bookings, according to a statement by the Dubai carrier. While scheduled flights remain canceled for now, Etihad will conduct some repositioning, cargo and repatriation flights “in coordination with UAE authorities and subject to strict operational and safety approvals,” the Abu Dhabi airline said in a statement.
