Of course that is after the repatriation of hundreds of thousands of laid off people is dealth with (200,000+ Indians in UAE have registered to be repatriated, which means another 200,000 among other Asian communities) |

Etihad appears to be resuming inbound flights (for approved residents only at the moment), could Emirates be not-so-far behind? Etihad plans to gradually restart all of its passenger flights after June 16 as more restrictions lift globally. |

There are two Eid's first is end of May, the second is the million dollar question as it entails Hajj end of July, first few days of august. If Hajj goes ahead then EK will likely ramp up services in July. EU has said external borders will only be eased after internal freedom of movement has resumed and it's proposed an extenion of blocks to 15th June from the 15th May the current block. Also UK is now considering a 14 day quaruntine order for anyone traveling into the UK so expect many holiday makers from Asia/Gulf etc decide not to head to the UK. Therefore it seems reasnable when Tim Clark says write off the summer :(

There is absolutely no way Haj will go ahead with the mass public. It may go on, but likely with selected people within Saudi who have been vetted to be virus-free. But of course Eid Adha takes place regardless of Haj, and if borders open up (without 14 day quarantines) , you may have people travelling |

Have you logged onto the Emirates site using the PNR supplied by Expedia? If it's still showing a operating, give it a few more days and it should then show as cancelled. |
Still lots of confusion over which flights are operating. I have a LHR/DXB/BKK flight leaving on 13 June. According to MMB it is still a confirmed flight, but if I try to book any outgoing flight to that destination prior to 1st July I get a warning about no flights available.

Seems Gulf / Khaleej Times are a copy and paste job from EK Media Centre https://www.emirates.com/media-centr...and-australia/
It does have a wonderful * which is not on the newspapers, says "*Subject to government approval " I guess dependant on when UK, seems more repatriation flights then scheduled connections, given UK will limit entry at end of month and Australia onlu allowing its nationals back https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/int...1580226297.htm I guess also Australia chosen since crew not required to required to stay grounded for 14 days. If they do resume it's positive start, maybe June we can see a resumption since EU is keen to reopen in June if possible. |
