UAE Authorities Announce Airports Are Now Open For All Connecting Travelers

The UAE will allow transit flights to pass through its three international airports, as the country slowly begins to lift restrictions and resume economic activities. Transit flights will be allowed through Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah airports but a date is yet to be announced.

The country’s airlines Etihad, Emirates, flydubai and Air Arabia are due to unveil flight schedules and other details, including safety procedures, in coming days.

Inbound and outbound passenger flights remain suspended until further notice. Only repatriation flights and some inbound flights for residents are in operation as of now.

During a press briefing, Dr. Saif Aldhaheri, spokesperson for the National Authority for Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Management said “The UAE has taken additional steps towards restoring normalcy by allowing some of the country’s airports to permit the transfer and transit of passengers from other international aiports.”

Meanwhile, airports have been preparing for passengers returns and commemorating the move with releasing videos on social media like this one by Abu Dhabi airport.
