Dubai-based Emirates Airlines will operate selected flights to Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam from 12 to 15 March.

Only Saudi nationals will be allowed to travel on these flights from Dubai to the three cities. However, those travelers from other countries who have permits for the G20 Summit meetings will be allowed to travel to Riyadh, Emirates said in a statement.

Return flights from the three Saudi airports will only be open to non-Saudi nationals.

On Monday, Saudi Arabia suspended flights to and from nine countries, including the UAE, to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
