Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports, is hopeful that the UAE could be on the UK’s amber list soon.
The UK has placed the UAE in the list of red countries. UAE residents flying to the UK will, therefore, have to undergo a mandatory 10-day hotel quarantine upon arrival.
Griffiths sees that the UAE could stay a bit longer on the UK’s red list before moving down to another category.
Meanwhile, Etihad Airways, the UAE’s national carrier, has advised passengers to call only if they’re travelling in less than 48 hours, as it is experiencing a high volume of calls.
Social media platforms for the country's airlines have been flooded with inquiries from passengers who are stranded abroad and desperate to return to the UAE to join their families and resume work.
