Re: Emirates after AC
Headlines this morning should also factor into your decision to move out to that part of the world. Just spoke to some people living in Dubai - it's locked down with people being told to shelter in place. Airport is closed at the moment - all flights cancelled. Neighbouring FIRs closed.
