Etihad Abu Dhabi-Saudi flights cancelled through Nov. 19 amid Houthi attacks

UAE residents should expect ongoing Saudi flight disruptions as Houthi attacks from Yemen continue to affect regional aviation. Etihad's Abu Dhabi flights to Riyadh and Dammam remain cancelled through November 19, though four Abu Dhabi-Jeddah services resumed on November 6. Flydubai's Dammam services are scheduled to resume on November 10. Multiple airlines including Flydubai, Etihad, Flynas, and Riyadh Air cancelled flights to Saudi cities on November 9 as attacks continued, with arrivals at UAE airports running up to three hours late. Iranian airlines remain suspended from the UAE, as do Emirates and flydubai flights to Tel Aviv. The US Mission in the UAE has warned Americans of possible cancellations and airspace closures. Residents are advised to verify bookings directly with airlines before travelling and follow civil defence guidance.
