Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways, which are the Middle East’s three biggest carriers, are operating a limited number of commercial flights from their respective bases in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha, which each serve as major travel hubs for passengers flying between Europe and the Far East and Australia.
