Airlines resume some flights from the UAE as passengers try to get home

Emirates and Etihad have extended their general flight suspensions, but are operating a limited number of specific flights to help passengers leave Dubai. Emirates alone has over 100 flights scheduled to depart over two days, while other airlines like Qatar Airways are running relief flights from nearby cities like Muscat and Riyadh.

Thousands of passengers remain stranded, with some charter flights reportedly charging high prices for seats. Meanwhile, some regular commercial routes, like flights to Singapore and Hanoi, are gradually starting up again on a case-by-case basis.
