Airlines Etihad and Emirates have confirmed they will be running a limited number of services from Abu Dhabi and Dubai to the UK over the next few days.
And Emirates said it was working to restore full network operations, following the partial re-opening of regional airspace.
Thousands of flights in the Middle East have been cancelled in the past week, leaving many Britons stranded. This followed US-Israeli strikes on Iran which in turn prompted retaliatory strikes by Iran across the region.
The UK government has so far chartered one flight out - it left Oman's capital Muscat on Thursday night and arrived at Stansted early on Friday morning after its departure was delayed by 24 hours following "technical issues".
But a government minister said commercial flights are "by far the most likely and the most rapid" routes out.
