On the other hand, Emirates' flights to and from Lebanon remain cancelled up to and including 15 October.
The cancellations come amid fears of Israeli retaliation after Iran's missile attack on Israel last Tuesday. Iran has vowed a stronger response if its infrastructure is attacked.
The carrier also banned pagers and walkie talkies on flights to, from, or via Dubai. This includes prohibition of these devices in check-in or cabin baggage.
