The United Arab Emirates will on Thursday lift a ban on transit flights including from India and Pakistan, the National Emergency and Crisis Management Authority (NCEMA) said on Tuesday.
India and Pakistan are important markets for Emirates, Etihad Airways and other UAE carriers Fly Dubai and Air Arabia. The Gulf state, a major international travel hub, had banned passengers from many South Asian and African states from travelling through its airports this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.
