As a result of the current tensions between Iran, Israel, and the United States, the flights in and out of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are becoming extremely disrupted on March 11, 2026. The restrictions and security issues in the airspace have made airlines change schedules, cancel flights, and manipulate passenger services.
Current Flight Operations
Dubai International and Abu Dhabi International, as well as Sharjah airports, are also running a small number of flights in the UAE. It is only operating selected international and regional routes, and capacity is very much lower. Certain airlines are focusing on passenger flights that have been confirmed, whereas others have halted certain routes temporarily to help keep them safe.
The key airlines that provide limited services are Emirates, Etihad Airways, flydubai, and Air Arabia.
Cancellations and Delays
Some of the flights have either been cancelled or postponed especially the ones that fly over the sensitive airspace in the region. Last-minute changes should also be expected by passengers, where airlines constantly review the situation and change their schedules. It mostly affects international flights, which normally fly over Iran or its vicinity.
