UAE flight disruptions continue as regional tensions escalate

UAE travellers continued to face an uncertain travel picture, with Emirates, Etihad Airways, Air Arabia and flydubai operating a mix of scheduled routes alongside cancellations and delays. Several international carriers have also extended suspensions of services to Dubai and other Middle East destinations as the regional security situation remains fluid. Travellers flying from the UAE should check their flight status before leaving home, arrive at least three hours before departure, allow extra time for traffic, check-in, security and immigration, complete online check-in where available, keep contact details updated to receive airline alerts, and monitor official airline and airport channels for real-time updates.
