DUBAI, United Arab Emirates: Dubai carrier Emirates has reversed a previous announcement suspending all passenger flights, saying it is going to continue flying to 13 destinations, including the the U.S., the UK, Japan, Australia and Canada. The company said Sunday that the decision comes after receiving requests from governments and customers to support the repatriation of travelers. Hours earlier, Emirates said it was suspending all passenger flights starting Wednesday.
