India-Dubai flights remain suspended

A status quo remains on the suspension of incoming air passenger traffic from India to UAE, an official with the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) said.

Inbound passenger traffic from India, which has been coping with an unusually severe second wave of Covid-19, will remain suspended until further notice, the official said.

“Our flights from India remain suspended. We're waiting for the exact travel protocols and guidelines before we can resume. We'll update our website when we have new information. Please keep an eye on it,” the airline said on Twitter.

“Our flights from India are still suspended until July 6. Once we've verified the information about flight resumption, we'll send out a broadcast,” the airline informed another passenger.

On June 19, the Dubai Supreme Committee of Crisis and Disaster Management announced the latest protocols enabling the safe resumption of travel from India to Dubai on June 23. However, flight operations are yet to resume on airline websites.

Furthermore, Emirates informed its passengers on social media that flights from India to Dubai remain suspended. In response to tweets from passengers, Emirates said the situation is dynamic, and any change in travel protocols and guidelines will be updated immediately.
