Dubai carrier Emirates will still be offering a drastically reduced service, though is keeping active with passenger flights to only 13 destinations now.

Dubai carrier Emirates reversed on Sunday its decision to suspend all passenger flights, shortly after it said it would halt operations from March 25 amid the novel coronavirus outbreak.

Emirates will continue to fly to the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Australia, South Africa, the United States and Canada. “We continue to watch the situation closely, and as soon as things allow, we will reinstate our services,” said the airline’s chairman and CEO, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum.

Maktoum said that, until January this year, the Emirates Group was “doing well” against current financial year targets, but “Covid-19 has brought all that to a sudden and painful halt over the past six weeks”.Emirates also announced it will slash the basic salaries of a majority of employees by between 25 and 50 percent for three months, but will not cut jobs.
