Emirates resumed flight operations to and from Dubai International Airport after temporarily suspending services due to safety concerns. The airline asked passengers with confirmed bookings to proceed to the airport and deleted an earlier advisory that had created confusion among travellers.
Airlines have begun resuming limited operations from Dubai and other Gulf cities after five days of disruption triggered by regional tensions. While some repatriation flights have restarted, major carriers and airports continue to face restrictions and suspended services.
The bodies, which were to be flown out on Friday night by Air India to Hyderabad as per schedule, however, were taken on another flight of the Emirates in the early hours of Saturday and reached Hyderabad the same day.
The Reddit user, who identified himself as a New York resident, alleged that the crew members on the flight were not at their best behaviour, especially with elders and those who could not speak English.
The Dubai-based airline had announced the suspension first on April 24 as a devastating second wave of the pandemic hit India, leading to record high number of daily cases and deaths.
