According to the airlines, the customers with tickets can make new travel plans when the flights resume and were advised not to call for immediate rebooking.

“Emirates regrets any inconvenience caused. We are working closely with aircraft manufacturers and the relevant authorities to alleviate operational concerns, and we hope to resume our US services as soon as possible.
