Emirates suspends flights to and from Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane after COVID prompts cuts to arrivals
Hundreds of Australians have been left stranded after major airline Emirates abruptly suspended flights to and from Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane indefinitely.
Key points:
- Emirates will not fly into or out of Brisbane, Melbourne or Sydney after Tuesday next week, citing “operational reasons”
- It comes after flight caps for international arrivals were halved in NSW, WA and Queensland
- More than 37,000 Australians remain stranded overseas trying to get home
The airline made the announcement on Friday evening, confirming its last flight into Brisbane from Dubai would be on Saturday, while the last flights into Sydney and Melbourne would be on Tuesday.
The only Emirates flights into Australia will now be twice-weekly ones into Perth from Dubai.
