UAE Airports see Flight Cancellations, Delays: List of Dubai and Abu Dhabi Arrivals, Late Departures | Today’s news
Flight connectivity between the United Arab Emirates and the rest of the world continues to face disruption following the re-escalation of fighting between the US and Iran after weeks of calm. The US military renewed its attack on Iran on Tuesday night, after which the Islamic Republic retaliated with missile and drone attacks on US bases in West Asia and other key US-linked sites in Bahrain, Jordan, Iraq and Kuwait.
This has triggered a wave of caution across the region, due to which several flights connecting India to Dubai have been delayed. While airports in the UAE and elsewhere in neighboring countries continue to operate under heightened security, several flights have been affected by the geopolitical situation around the Persian Gulf.
