According to Emirates, these are limited operations that will prioritize passengers who already hold reservations, and the airline will contact those whose rebooking has been completed directly. Passengers are being asked not to go to the airport until they receive a notification.

Dubai International Airport states that, in coordination with airlines and authorities, it plans to gradually increase the number of operating flights. The operating schedule may change as aircraft are repositioned and the network is readjusted. Departing flights will be prioritized, and the number of operating flights is expected to increase gradually based on capacity and airspace availability.

According to the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), approximately 20,200 people have had accommodation arrangements or rebookings made.
