Emirates Resumes Limited Flights Amid Middle East Conflict

0:00On March 6th, Birmingham Airport has just two flight cancellations today, Friday March 6th, both Qatar Airway Services 2 and from Doha. Four Emirates flights to Dubai are still scheduled to run amid the ongoing Middle East conflict now in its seventh day.

Emirates has canceled thousands of flights, but is now running a limited schedule after partial reopening of UAE airspace. Passengers face uncertainty, but Emirates is prioritizing those with earlier bookings and only accepting Dubai transits if connections are confirmed. Effective travelers book between February 28th and March 31st can re-book by April 30th or request refunds through the airline. Today at Birmingham, expect Emirates departures at 140 pm and 850 pm with arrivals at 1140 am and 645 pm.
