Emirates said in a statement it will operate two additional, special flights to U-Taphao Airport until December 5 as well as re-instating its scheduled flight EK372/373 (Dubai-Bangkok-Dubai) from December 6.

"As the main terminal is still undergoing checks and cleaning, and flights are being allowed to operate from a smaller facility at the airport, we will only resume operations with the daily, scheduled EK372/373 service between Dubai and Bangkok starting December 6."

EK 372 will depart Dubai daily at 09:40 hourrs and touch down in Bangkok at 18:40 hours. Return flight EK373 will depart Bangkok at 20:25 hours and arrive in Dub
