Several international airlines resumed limited flights from the United Arab Emirates on Monday, offering relief to passengers stranded in airports and cities amid airspace closures following the ongoing US-Iran conflict.
Long-haul carriers Etihad Airways and Emirates, based in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and budget carrier FlyDubai said they would operate select flights from the country, where air traffic was suspended Saturday.
At least 15 Etihad flights took off from Abu Dhabi's airport on Monday to help evacuate passengers who have been stranded there, according to tracking service Flightradar24.
Emirates said it would also fly limited flights beginning Monday evening, but it wasn’t immediately clear if those had begun.
IndiGo will operate 10 special relief flights from Jeddah to four Indian cities on March 3 to bring back passengers.
Airlines have told passengers to head to airports only if they were contacted directly during what it said would be a “limited resumption of operations.”
