Emirates resumes Kuwait and Oman flights from May

## Emirates Restarts Kuwait Flights

Starting May 1, Emirates will resume flights between Dubai and Kuwait, following the reopening of Kuwaiti airspace. Initially, the airline will operate two daily direct flights from Dubai International Airport to Kuwait International Airport. The first flight, EK855, will depart at 7:50 am, and the second, EK857, at 2:55 pm.

From May 16, the airline plans to increase the frequency to four daily flights, utilizing A350 and B777 aircraft to accommodate more passengers. A fifth daily service is set to be added from May 21, reflecting a gradual increase in operations as regional air traffic conditions improve.

## Resumption of Muscat Services

Emirates will also resume flights to Muscat, Oman, starting May 1. Initially, the airline will operate five weekly flights on EK866, along with two weekly flights on EK862. From May 16, daily operations will resume on the Muscat route via flight EK866.

This expansion is part of Emirates' broader recovery strategy, responding to growing demand for short-haul travel as connectivity across Gulf destinations normalizes.
