By GlobalDataFrom May 21, Dubai International Airport has started the operation of some scheduled passenger flights to select destinations from Terminal 3.
Previously, the airport handled only cargo and repatriation flights since the authorities suspended regular operations on 24 March.
Last month, Dubai Airports outlined the measures it will implement as a part of its post-Covid-19 recovery plan.
Dubai Airports CEO Paul Griffiths announced that the airport is aiming to control costs, optimise liquidity, operate cargo and repatriation flights, as well as prepare to restart operations at DXB.
In April, Dubai Airports partnered with its aviation and commercial partners to provide relief measures and has also planned to gradually restart operations after the restrictions are lifted.
Using a business stabilisation framework, Dubai Airports provided an assistance programme to the aviation partners, tenants and concessionaires.
