Major flight carrier Emirates Airline firmly dismissed online speculation that all flights will be cancelled from March 17.
As the UAE announced that most entry visas will not be available from March 17 as a precautionary initiative against the spread of the Coronavirus (Covid-19), rumours began appearing online that all Emirates flights will be suspended.

Passengers and other customers have been urged by the airline company to refer to their website for further flight updates related to the virus outbreak.
