It seems things are gradually getting back to normal. Qatar Airways has just announced the resumption of its daily flights from Doha to Dubai and Sharjah. Damascus in Syria is also part of the picture as the airline seeks to reconnect to its original operations as soon as possible. Though a sense of caution is still floating in the air, Middle Eastern airlines are definitely operating from a much better position than before.
Qatar Airways’ announcement comes amid UAE airlines, such as Emirates and Etihad, planning a gradual resumption in their operations. For example, Emirates is already flying more than 100 flights from Dubai International (DXB) and Etihad is also getting back to its usual pace at Zayed International (AUH).
But it is still important that you do not leave your hotel or residence unless you have a confirmed booking on the limited flights in operation. Check your flight status regularly and once you reach the airport, pay attention to announcements and digital screens as gate changes and flight cancellations may still happen. Last but not least, do not panic. You are in much safer hands. Just abide by official guidelines and leave the rest to the authorities.
