Travellers are urged to wear face masks and gloves and adhere to social distancing guidelines.

Emirates obtained approvals for a number of flights to Zurich and Brussels until Saturday, with flights to Paris taking place until Sunday and routes to London Heathrow and Frankfurt until Sunday, April 19.

"Passengers are advised to contact Emirates airline directly to seek additional information or book travel," read a statement on the Dubai Airports website.

The majority of passenger flights - except for a small number of emergency journeys - were grounded at midnight on March 25 as part of efforts to slow the spread of coronavirus.

"Aside from the aforementioned Emirates airline operations, only vital cargo and emergency evacuation flights will operate from DXB and DWC during this period," the statement continued.

"Dubai Airports continues to be fully committed to supporting the measures being taken to ensure the health and safety of our valued customers, our community and our employees.

"We continue to urge you to stay safe."
