The National Emergency and Crisis Management Authority said on Tuesday in a post via their Twitter handle. NCEMA said that passengers travelling from countries where flights had been banned would be able to transit through its airports from August 5 [Thursday] as long as they present a negative PCR COVID-19 test taken 72 hours prior to departure.Pakistan and India are important markets for Emirates, Etihad Airways and other UAE carriers flydubai and Air Arabia.
UAE, a major international travel hub, had banned passengers from many South Asian and African states from travelling through its airports this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Final destination approval would also have to be provided, the authority said, adding that UAE departure airports would arrange separate lounges for transiting passengers.
