UAE airspace remains operational and flights continue to operate. However, airlines are adjusting services in response to changing security assessments and conflict-zone advisories. Iranian-operated flights to the UAE remain suspended, while direct flights between the UAE and Israel continue to face security and operational restrictions. Saudi Arabia is another important concern for UAE-based travellers. Recent airline updates show cancellations affecting Riyadh and Dammam, although some flights to Jeddah, Medina and other Saudi cities continue to operate. Tehran's latest warning that US military installations across the Middle East and Europe could become targets in another war has raised concerns about the possibility of a wider confrontation.
