Suspension of flights to several US destinations

Due to operational concerns associated with the planned deployment of 5G mobile network services in the US at certain airports, Emirates will be suspending flights to the following US destinations on 20 January 2022: 

Chicago (ORD), Dallas, Fort Worth (DFW), Miami (MIA), Newark (EWR), Orlando (MCO), and Seattle (SEA).

Customers whose bookings have been cancelled may be able to connect to their final destination from one of Emirates’ other US gateways with our codeshare partners Jetblue, or Alaskan and are advised to contact their travel agent or Emirates call centre for information on options.

Emirates flights to New York JFK, Los Angeles (LAX) and Washington DC (IAD)  continue to operate as scheduled.

Emirates will operate the following flights to Boston (BOS), Houston (IAH), and San Francisco (SFO), utilising the Emirates A380 aircraft.

20 January 2022:

Other flights to these destinations remain suspended.

Affected customers do not need to call us immediately for rebooking. Customers can simply hold on to their Emirates ticket and when flights resume, get in touch with their travel agent or booking office to make new travel plans.

Emirates regrets any inconvenience caused.

We are working closely with aircraft manufacturers and the relevant authorities to alleviate operational concerns, and we hope to resume our US services as soon as possible.
