after major airlines suspended operations to the country

Emirates will continue flying to Russia as long as its owner — the government of Dubai — tells it to, the carrier's President said on Tuesday.

"As long as the state, our owner, requires us to fly there, we will continue," President Tim Clark told the World Government Summit, per Reuters.

"We carry humanitarian goods in our holds. We've got NGOs traveling in and out of Russia. We've got the diplomatic community going in and out of Russia... so all we're doing is being an enabler, facilitator, without taking a political position on this for the time being," said Clark, according to Reuters.

Emirates is one of the few airlines still serving Russia after major carriers pulled out of the country amid sweeping sanctions over the Ukraine war. Dubai is part of the United Arab Emirates, which hasn't condemned Russia for the war in Ukraine or imposed sanctions against the country.
