The changes represent positive progress, but until major markets in Asia and (particularly) Australasia open up to travellers from the UK and vv, one would expect the ramp-up to be cautious. Even as restrictions are lifted, customers who generally book long-haul trips well in advance will remain wary of draconian rule changes imposed with minimal notice by politicians disrupting their eligibility to travel. I expect the recovery to 2019 levels to be slow (though the percentage rises in passenger numbers yoy will look amazing).
India going "amber list" from the UK will be helpful, looking beyond the UAE itself.
