UAE Airlines Cancel Flights Amid Regional Airspace Closures

UAE-based airlines have canceled and rerouted several flights as airspaces were closed in various parts of the Middle East amid escalating regional tensions.

On Tuesday, approximately 80 flights worldwide—operated by Emirates, British Airways, Lufthansa, Qatar Airways, and destined for major Middle East hubs like Dubai, Doha, and Abu Dhabi—were redirected to locations such as Cairo and European cities, according to data from tracking service FlightRadar24. Many airlines have also suspended flights to the region or are avoiding affected airspace.

"We are closely monitoring the situation and making every effort to ensure minimal disruption to customers while assisting those impacted," the airline stated to local reporters. Until further notice, customers transiting through Dubai with final destinations in Iraq, Iran, and Jordan will not be permitted to travel from their point of origin.
