Emirates may resume flights to Adelaide as early as this weekend, while Qatar Airways is set to follow in June.<\/p>\n

Aviation trade sites say Emirates has filed an interim schedule for May 1-15, resuming services to 16 international destinations after flights were halted when conflict broke out between the United States and Iran.<\/p>\n

They say the restored routes will include Adelaide as well as Brisbane, as services return to more than three-quarters of its pre-conflict schedule.<\/p>\n

While no formal announcement has been made, in response to inquiries by The Advertiser Emirates released a statement saying it hoped to resume Adelaide services in May.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmirates is working to restore its network and has resumed around 65 per cent of its weekly flight frequencies,\u201d it states.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Australia, Emirates has yet to fully reintroduce its passenger operations. Currently, Emirates operates one daily passenger flight to each of Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. <\/p>\n

\u201cEmirates hopes to resume services to Adelaide and Brisbane effective May 1. We will confirm this as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emirates now is serving 87 per cent of the countries in its network, with 65 out of 75 countries currently operated.<\/p>\n

The AeroRoutes site which tracks international airline schedules and routes reports the airline has filed an interim schedule for May 1-15. <\/p>\n

It states this includes three Dubai-Adelaide flights effective from May 2 using the new generation A350.<\/p>\n

In December, Adelaide became the first city in the world to be serviced by Emirates\u2019 new long-range A350-LR aircraft on the Dubai route<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The giant aircraft accommodating 298 passengers, which comes with a premium economy cabin, has the lure of less jet lag and a quieter flight thanks to a host of new generation improvements.<\/p>\n

Amid ongoing turmoil in the Middle East, Qatar Airways will resume daily Adelaide-Doha services from June 16, a month after it restarts services to Brisbane.<\/p>\n

The updated flight schedule will run through to September 15 with further changes dependent on global conditions.<\/p>\n

Despite challenges from the US-Iran conflict, the airline is expanding its international flight network with services to more than 150 destinations by mid-May.<\/p>\n

Airline officials say all flights to and from Doha continue to operate through dedicated flight corridors established in close co-ordination with the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease note: Flight schedules are subject to change or cancellation due to operational, regulatory, safety, or other circumstances beyond our control,\u201d a statement notes. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe safety and wellbeing of our passengers and crew remain our highest priority.\u201d<\/p>\n

The impending return of both airlines will be a major boost to exporters including for seafood, beef, lamb and wine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Emirates may resume flights to Adelaide as early as this weekend, while Qatar Airways is set to follow…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2133,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[395,1142,3241,124,297,23,133,3257,3249,3254,3251,3253,3261,3244,3245,3255,3242,3247,3243,3248,3259,104,355,119,135,120,3256,3263,3262,3250,3260,3252,291,3258,247,117,3246,282],"class_list":["post-2132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-adelaide","tag-adelaide","tag-adelaide-airport","tag-airline-officials","tag-america","tag-asia","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-aviation-trade-sites","tag-ben-clark","tag-brad-crouch","tag-business-class","tag-changes-dependent","tag-dedicated-flight-corridors","tag-dubai","tag-flight-frequencies","tag-flight-schedules","tag-formal-announcement","tag-generation-improvements","tag-global-links","tag-interim-schedule","tag-international-airline-schedules","tag-iran","tag-new-south-wales","tag-north-america","tag-northern-america","tag-oceania","tag-passenger-flight","tag-pre-conflict-schedule","tag-premium-economy-cabin","tag-qatar-airways","tag-qatar-civil-aviation-authority","tag-restarts-services","tag-southern-asia","tag-statement-notes","tag-sydney","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-updated-flight-schedule","tag-western-asia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2132"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2132\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
