It comes as the UK government continues to advise against all but essential travel to the United Arab Emirates, amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
The advice means travellers cannot generally get cover for visiting the UAE, and the FCDO also clearly states that travel insurance could be invalidated if individuals travel against its advice.
In an interview with the Financial Times, Sir Tim said Emirates would offer to fly people home, using other airlines if neccessary, to reassure travellers fearful of becoming stranded if the conflict restarts.
