UAE flights today are experiencing a mix of cancellations, delays, and operating changes as regional tensions between the US and Iran continue to disrupt travel. Emirates, Etihad, Air Arabia, and flydubai are among the airlines reporting issues on several regional and international routes. Etihad has cancelled a Tel Aviv-Abu Dhabi flight due to industrial action at Ben Gurion International Airport, while Emirates has cancelled two Dubai-Bahrain services.

Air Arabia has cancelled flights linking the UAE with Kuwait and Bahrain. The situation is compounded by the ongoing US-Iran conflict, which has led to security concerns, shipping disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz, and sanctions on various entities. Despite these challenges, flydubai is operating services to Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia as scheduled.
