Dedicated passenger 777ER (cargo only) network has been set up in addition to freighter network. Makes total sense, airfreight is booming.

You might be referring to 'The EK Source' which was available at theeksource.com, however the owner of the site stopped updating it due to the costs of running not being covered by advertising.

For those interested in knowing what DWC looks like:

I can't help but feel that it will be a very different world once this unprecedented period of stoppage in global transport comes to an end.

On a more practical note, any guesses when the UAE flights grounding and visitor ban might be lifted?

Extended?? Not for me. They've apparently reduced mine so it'll expire April 2021 whereas if they'd left things as is I had already requalified and would have been Gold until October 2021. Now when they look back a year in April 2021 my re-qualifying flights will have fallen off the re-qual period. At least when they started this with 3 and 6 month extensions you had to opt in to take advantage. Now they know "my time is valuable they're doing it automatically" so I can't avoid it. Crazy.

My guess is that the flight resumptions will follow basically the dates in the "Flight Suspension" WIKI. Here was the last update before EK cancelled all services outright. The start dates listed there gives you insight into what they were thinking just prior to the shutdown.

To be clear, The dates listed are the dates they thought the flights would be SHUT DOWN and not the dates they would run. The end date is when they believed they could start flying again.

I copied and saved the list just before it was removed from the EK commercial website. I reposted it here as it gives some insight into the thinking of the Commercial department, just before the total shutdown, of when they, at the time, believed the flights would start to run again.

How far out has EK canceled flights??
I'm seeing that my outbound flight from EWR to ATH in late June has disappeared from my list of upcoming flights on the EK website. Has EK already canceled these flights through the end of June? I booked through a travel agent and I've been unable to reach the agency to see what's going on.
