Emirates suspends all passenger flights effective March 25, 2020.

Update: the correct date should be March 25, nor March 23 as originally posted.

Emirates has put the following statement up on Twitter today:

Today we made the decision to temporarily suspend all passenger flights by 25 March 2020. SkyCargo operations will continue. This painful but pragmatic move will help Emirates Group preserve business viability and secure jobs worldwide, avoiding cuts.
