Virgin Atlantic became the latest airline to resume operations out of the UAE with its first flight to London Heathrow since Middle East airspace closures began due to the conflict between the US-Israel and Iran.
The British airline's scheduled 11:20 am flight took off from Dubai International Airport (DXB) at 11:50 am local time (8:50 am CET) on Wednesday. Virgin also resumed flights from Riyadh, with its first departure from King Khalid International Airport at 4:22 am local time (2:22 am CET).
