“Today we decided to temporarily suspend all passenger flights by March 25, 2020 ... This painful but pragmatic action will help the Emirates Group to maintain the viability of its operations and jobs around the world, avoiding cuts,” the Emirates report said on Twitter.

It is noted that the transportation of a subsidiary cargo airline SkyCargo will continue.

Earlier it became known that since March 23, Russia has been suspending flights with other countries, with the exception of flights from Moscow to capital cities or major cities, as well as charters for the removal of Russians home.
