Emirates maintains normal services Emirates, the Dubai-based international airline, is continuing to operate normally except for services to Kuwait which have been temporarily suspended, states an Emirates press release. The airline urges passengers, as a precaution, to check departure times with their travel agent or with one of the airline's call centres before leaving for the airport. The carrier went live with additional website pages, set up to provide information, updated regularly, on any changes which may be made to its scheduled flights as a result of military activity in the region. Maurice Flanagan, Emirates Group Managing Director, said: "Safety remains a top priority. The airline is monitoring the situation in the region continuously to ensure the well-being of our flight and cabin crews and of our passengers in every way we can. "We are using alternative routes where necessary. These are well-established and recognised as safe by all international aviation authorities. Emirates has never flown over Iraq, even under normal conditions, and none of our routes takes our aircraft near to that country". |
