Emirates Suspends All Passenger Flights

Emirates airline will suspend all passenger flights by March 25 but retain its cargo operations, the airline announced today.

The group’s airfield services firm Dnata will also significantly reduce its operations, including temporary closure of operations at some international locations where demand is low.

The impact for staff is a basic salary reduction for the majority of employees for three months –  but the airline insisted it will not cut jobs.

The airline said its international air cargo links will remain in place, deploying its fleet of 11 Boeing 777 freighters for the transport of essential goods – including medical supplies – across the world.
