I wasn't aware of that being the wording. Most accurate source I could find: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-ad...-arab-emirates
Specifies flights "from UAE to England, Scotland..." Which does sound like inbound but could potentially imply both ways. Regardless there's still no evidence that the cancellation was due to light load. If anything I'd imagine those flights would've been packed with people trying to get home.
