Iran-Israel war latest news: Emirates on Thursday announced the opening of flight bookings to 75 destinations, including eight Indian cities, for travel on March 5 and 6, 2026. The airline is operating a limited number of flight services, following the closure of airspace in the Middle East, amid the ongoing war between Iran and Israel.

In a statement, the airline stated that the customers transiting in Dubai will only be accepted for travel if their connecting flight is operating. It also advised the passengers not to travel to the airport without holding a confirm ticket.

“These flights are open for booking and we are accommodating customers with earlier bookings as a priority. Customers transiting in Dubai will only be accepted for travel if their connecting flight is operating. Please do not go to the airport unless you hold a confirmed booking for these flights.

Emirates continues to monitor the situation, and we will develop our operational schedule accordingly. The latest flight updates will be published on our website,” it said.

Emirates flight refund and rebooking policy

Emirates also stated that passengers who booked to travel between February 28 until and including March 31, have these options:

  • Rebook on an alternate flight. You can rebook on another flight to your intended destination for travel on or before 30 April. If you booked your flight with a travel agent, you must contact them. If you booked with us directly, contact us at http://emirat.es/support.
  • Request for refund. You can request for a refund of your ticket by completing the refund form at http://emirat.es/refund if you booked with us directly. If you booked your flights with a travel agent, please contact them.

It also stated that all city check‑in points across Dubai are temporarily closed until further notice.
