The latest update was issued on Wednesday April 29 and said that Emirates continues to operate a reduced schedule of flights to more than 100 global destinations.

The world’s largest international airline is currently operating at 65 percent of its full capacity, according to Tim Clark, the president of Emirates.

Emirates also stated that it is continuing to monitor the situation and will develop its operational schedule accordingly.

Emirates Dubai flights at Birmingham Airport have continuously been cancelled ever since the war in the Middle East began on 28 February.

Travellers are still advised to enquire with the airline before turning up to the airport to ensure that their flight is going ahead.

Travellers have also been urged to check the status of their flight even after they’ve checked in.

The latest update for those booked to travel with the airline between Saturday February 28 and Sunday May 31 states that travellers are still able to rebook an alternative flight or request a refund.

Any travellers who have booked flights after April 2 have been offered one free date change, across all cabins.

Emirates also reiterated that the safety and security of its passengers and crew remain the highest priority at this time.
