Dubai-based airline Emirates Airline said Friday that in light of the current situation, Emirates has taken precautionary measures including rerouting all flights away from areas of possible conflict. Emirates Spokesman said in a statement, "We are carefully monitoring the ongoing developments and are in close contact with the relevant government authorities with regards to our flight operations, and will make further operational changes if the need arises." The re-routings have minimally affected the arrival/departure timings of some flights, the Spokesman said.
