Dubai travellers should be aware of mixed flight operations this weekend as some airlines experience delays and cancellations. Emirates services to Bahrain and Kuwait are operating, while Etihad reports mostly normal service to the same destinations. Air Arabia and flydubai have reported cancellations on several regional routes.
International carriers have differing approaches, with some restoring flights to the UAE and others keeping services suspended. Passengers are advised to check their individual flight status before heading to the airport, as schedules remain subject to short-notice changes.

US-Iran tensions have also escalated, with the US urging increased caution around locations associated with Jewish and Israeli communities.
