Dubai International Airport (DXB) is set to see increased flight options as airlines restore services to European and Asian destinations ahead of the winter holidays. Up to 36 weekly flights between Dubai and Europe will return from late October through December, while service to Athens and Manila are also being restored. European airlines such as Lufthansa, SWISS, SWISS, Eurowings, and Austrian Airlines are resuming flights to cities including Munich, Zurich, Berlin, Stuttgart, Cologne-Bonn, Vienna and Athens.
On October 21, Philippine Airlines returned to DXB, operating flights to Manila alongside Cebu Pacific. Air Astana, Kazakhstan's flag carrier, is also reconnecting Dubai with Almaty following its announcement of resuming services from July, although the exact year was not specified. DXB announced the return of daily Dubai-Riyadh services from Riyadh Air and daily non-stop flights between Dubai and Istanbul from Turkish Airlines earlier in the year.
The airport hosts over 40 airlines, including Emirates, flydubai, Saudia, flyadeal, flynas, Gulf Air, Kuwait Airways, Jazeera Airways, Oman Air and Qatar Airways, serving South Asia, the Gulf, Central Asia, Africa and the wider Middle East. Passengers are advised to confirm their flight status directly with their airline due to some routes still experiencing schedule changes and suspensions.
