UK UAE travel corridor list: Latest travel information as Dubai removed from UK’s exempt list

The United Arab Emirates has been removed from the UK’s travel corridor list.

The UAE, which includes Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Sharjah, Umm Al-Quwain and Ras Al Khaimah, was removed from the exempt list at 4am this morning (Tuesday, January 12).

This means that if you now arrive in England from the United Arab Emirates you will need to self-isolate.

If you arrived in England from the United Arab Emirates before 4am today, you may not need to self-isolate but must read the latest Government rules.

Under the current lockdown rules, you can only travel internationally, or within the UK, where you first have a legally permitted reason to leave home.

You should also consider the public health advice in the country you are visiting.

As a result, holiday trips are forbidden.

If you do need to travel overseas, and are legally permitted to do so, for example, because it is for work, even if you are returning to a place you’ve visited before, you should look at the rules in place at your destination and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) travel advice.

Stansted Airport, meanwhile, has confirmed that due to its limited flight schedule the terminal is now closed overnight between 5pm and 5am from yesterday (Monday, January 11).

During these hours, there will be no access to the terminal building and travellers have been urged not to arrive at the airport before 5am.
