Air Arabia

Etihad Airways, is turning strong early demand into a year-round Gothenburg service, while Emirates is expanding its Premium Economy offering on flights between Dubai and Mauritius

Although the airline is waiving the date-change fee, passengers may still need to pay any applicable fare difference if the newly selected flight is more expensive

The promotions reinforce the UAE’s position as one of the world’s most competitive aviation markets, offering travellers an increasingly diverse range of flight options across multiple price points

At least 12 flights operated by Emirates, Air Arabia and flydubai were listed as cancelled on the airlines’ official flight-status pages, affecting services from Dubai and Sharjah

The strategy reflects a broader industry shift towards offering tangible benefits immediately after booking or arrival, rather than limiting rewards to points that accumulate over multiple journeys

Revenue for the period rose 1 per cent year-on-year to Dhs1.8bn, supported by sustained demand across its network despite operational constraints in parts of the quarter

Emirates cautioned travellers departing from Dubai International Airport on March 26 and 27 to prepare for adverse weather.

The campaign covers a broad network spanning key regional markets, alongside European destinations

Passengers opting to continue their journey were provided hotel accommodation in the city, while others cancelled travel in line with airline norms

The National Centre of Meteorologyhas warned that weather on Dec 19 is expected to be unstable, with partly cloudy to cloudy conditions at times
