Dubai\u2019s flag carrier has secured war-risk cover for about USD 100k a week for its entire fleet flying to and from Dubai \u2014 in contrast with non-Gulf airlines, which have been quoted USD 70k-150k per flight into the region, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/25108328-2fd4-4697-9ea9-52f7a2e5348e?syn-25a6b1a6=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Financial Times<\/a> reports, citing insurers in the know. The policy essentially covers Emirates for the first USD 2 bn of losses on its fleet, insurers said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> Non-Gulf carriers are being priced on a flight-by-flight basis, with each rotation into the region carrying its own war-risk premium. Emirates \u2014 by contrast \u2014 operates under a large, fleet-wide ins. structure, allowing insurers to assess risks across its network rather than on a per-flight basis \u2014 giving it a more stable and significantly lower cost base.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Gulf carriers on different terms: <\/strong>Airlines based in the Gulf are generally getting more flexible rates than foreign rivals with aircraft based elsewhere, aided by operating hundreds of daily flights through regional airspace and by closer coordination with airports and local authorities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Other carriers are back in the air too<\/strong>, but Etihad is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/25108328-2fd4-4697-9ea9-52f7a2e5348e?syn-25a6b1a6=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">operating<\/a> from Abu Dhabi, Air Arabia from Sharjah, and Qatar Airways is running a limited service from Doha \u2014 but Emirates remains the largest by a wide margin, with more flights in the system than Etihad and Qatar combined.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">And from the Dept. of Not-so-Good News<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding: 0;margin: 0;line-height: 1.15;text-align: left\"><strong>Iranian <\/strong><strong>forces struck a fully loaded <\/strong><strong>Kuwaiti <\/strong><strong>oil tanker<\/strong><strong> while anchored at Dubai Port<\/strong>, resulting in a fire aboard the vessel, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2026-03-30\/iran-strikes-fully-laden-kuwait-oil-tanker-in-dubai-port-area\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bloomberg<\/a> reports, citing a statement from the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation.
