Some flights continued to be affected on Sunday as regional tensions in neighbouring Saudi Arabia led to temporary disruptions on Saturday.
Despite this, several UAE carriers are resuming their flight schedules both to Saudi as well as the wider region, with a few flights cancelled or delayed.
Several flights were hit by fresh delays of around two to three hours, while some, like to the Indian city of Kochi and the Russian city of Sochi, were delayed by almost 11 hours and 18 hours, respectively.
Airlines continue to urge passengers to continuously monitor flight times, available on each airline’s respective website.
