Emirates Suspends All Passenger Flights Until Further Notice
Emirates has announced the suspension of all its passenger flights starting from March 25, 2020. The decision is a direct response to widespread government-mandated travel restrictions and border closures aimed at containing the COVID-19 pandemic. While passenger services are halted, the airline's cargo operations will continue to transport essential goods. According to the airline's chairman, the move was a necessary pain to take in order to safeguard communities against the virus. The suspension will remain in effect indefinitely, pending the reopening of borders and a recovery in travel demand.
