Airlines in the Persian Gulf are slowly starting to increase flights even as countries continue to intercept missiles and drones from Iran in their skies.

Emirates, the world’s largest international carrier, is operating a reduced flight schedule to about 100 destinations in more than 50 countries. That’s significantly lower than the number of destinations the airline typically serves, and the frequency of flights remains restricted.
