Not sure how this affects transit passengers or the airline itself flying to the country.
I’ve looked the list several times and didn’t see UAE. Checked with local emirates station manager, who said UAE isn’t on the high-eish list (Qatar is though).
Could you share your source?
Edit: I can now see there appear to be two separate lists: one with 60 countries, including the “United Emirates”, and another with 57 countries and excluding UAE. Based on the criteria communicated, I think the UAE will be excluded from the list, but who knows. A minister earlier in the week explicitly referenced that the UAE would not be included.
