Arsenal extend Emirates partnership until 2033

Emirates and Etihad airlines have decided to prolong their flight cancellations between the UAE and both Bahrain and Kuwait, due to ongoing regional tensions. Qatar Airways, on the other hand, is set to resume services to these destinations from August 8. Etihad Airways has cancelled its flights EY653 and EY654 between Abu Dhabi and Kuwait International Airport for "operational reasons."

Similarly, Emirates has suspended its daily flights to Bahrain and Kuwait until at least August 6, with no flights currently listed from August 7 onwards. The airlines have cited safety and comfort as their top priority, apologizing for the inconvenience caused to travelers. While other UAE-based airlines like flydubai, Air Arabia, Kuwait Airways, Jazeera Airways and Gulf Air continue to operate services to these countries, the disruption extends beyond UAE airlines as international carriers also adjust their schedules due to airspace restrictions and operational uncertainties.
