Emirates

Dubai-based Emirates has contended with disruptions since the start of the war in early 2022, President Tim Clark said Monday in a Bloomberg Television interview. The airline, which has provided Moscow with crucial links to the outside world, has no current plan to curtail services but will monitor the developing situation, he said.

Emirates will continue flying to Russia as long as its owner — the government of Dubai — tells it to, the carrier's President said on Tuesday.

An investigation by the Department’s Office of Aviation Consumer Protection revealed that between December 2021 and August 2022, Emirates operated a significant number of flights carrying the JetBlue Airways code between the United Arab Emirates and the United States in airspace prohibited by the FAA to U.S. operators. By operating these flights in this manner, Emirates violated the conditions of its authority to operate and engaged in passenger operations to and from the United States without the proper DOT authority. This conduct also violated a previous consent order issued in October 2020 fining Emirates for operating flights carrying the JetBlue Airways code in airspace under an FAA prohibition.

It also found that the ​airline ⁠retained health data collected via medical forms for seven years, which it ⁠considered ​excessive and disproportionate.
