Passenger flights between India and the UAE will remain suspended until the 6^th of July, Emirates Airline confirmed on its website.

“We’re further suspending our flights from India until 6^th of July. Our website will be updated soon. If you need help with your booking, DM us your reference number and email address. We’re here to help. Stay Safe,” the airline said on Twitter as response to a passenger.

The flight suspension to the UAE from India began on 24^th April, and was further extended on 4^th May by NCEMA (National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority) due to the deadly second wave of Covid-19 now affecting India.

Chartered flights, are however allowed, subject to approval from General Civil Aviation Authority. But, pooling and seat selling on charter jets from India to the UAE are not permitted.
