Decision trail
Decision date 29/03/2022 · Reference ↗
The company doesn't match the global sanctions imposed on Russia. The flights to Russia will continue to operate until UAE will join the sanctions. A number of airlines in the Middle East accept Visa and MasterCard issued by Russian banks for payment. On Emirates, Air Arabia and Fly Dubai flights, it is again possible to pay for a ticket with Russian "plastic".
