I'd insert the word 'tentative' into your post. If the war continues in a similar vein, no way will all these flights operate.

More that they haven't cancelled flights that aren't operating. As the waiver's been extended to 15 April, I'd expect cancellations to be extended accordingly in the next few days.

Well, I am booked MEL-DXB-LHR on 6 May so am following it closely... Lots of useful info at https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/emirates-skywards/2213712-temporary-partial-airspace-closure.html although it is lately deteriorating into a political banter...

A388 A6-EVE on Thursday 25 June 2026, the 'small hours' 0215 DXB down to SYD (EK414) did not take off until 0435 hours.

FR24 implies it must have a dispensation to land in SYD well after curfew, at a forecast 0003 hours on Friday 26. At 1845 AEST, it was still many nautical miles/kilometres from the Western Australian coast.

This aircraft normally forms the 0600 hours SYD-DXB next morning, EK415.

UPDATE: EK414 is now expected to arrive at gate at 2329 hours tonight, not 0003.

In another severe EK delay, on Wednesday 24 June, A388 A6-EVF arrived in Brisbane at 0648 hours, 23 minutes late as EK434 from DXB.

It stayed overnight, so instead of departing at 2100 hours last night, on Thursday 25 it took off at 1735 hours. DXB gate arrival on Friday 26 should be about 0137 hours, 1217 minutes late.
