UAE flights status: Emirates, Etihad, flydubai, Air Arabia delays and cancellations today

UAE travellers are facing a mixed situation on Thursday with both delays and cancellations reported across major airports. Dubai International Airport saw cancellations for Emirates flight EK636 to Peshawar, Al Jazeera services J9122 and J9124 to Kuwait, and Syrian Air RB518 to Damascus. Delays were also noted for Emirates EK797 to Conakry and Nepal Airlines RA230 to Kathmandu.

Abu Dhabi's Zayed International Airport reported no major disruptions, but travellers are advised to verify their individual flight status before departure. Etihad Airways experienced minimal issues, with few cancellations and mostly normal operations between Abu Dhabi and surrounding countries.

Etihad's EK837 to Bahrain had already arrived, while EK839 remained scheduled. Likewise, Abu Dhabi-Kuwait flight EK857 was on schedule. Passengers were encouraged to check their Emirates flight status before travelling.

Flydubai reported some arrivals and departures in Bahrain but cancelled flights FZ021, FZ027, and FZ063. FZ817 to Yanbu and FZ815 to Abha were also cancelled. The airline urged passengers to arrive at least four hours before departure and check their flight status online.

flydubai's Sharjah services saw cancellations for G9068 and G9124 to Kuwait, and G9107 to Bahrain. G9103 and G9105 remained scheduled. Sharjah-to-Bahrain flight 3L020 was cancelled. Travelers were advised to check official airline channels for real-time updates.

Air Arabia cancelled routes G9121 to Kuwait and G9107 to Bahrain. Flight G9103 remained unscheduled, while G9105 was set for departure. Abu Dhabi-Kuwait flight 3L020 was also cancelled. Passengers were advised to verify their flight status before leaving for the airport.

The ongoing US-Iran conflict and fluctuating fuel costs are contributing to the disruptions. Despite US President Donald Trump's comments about a possible end to the war, no final agreement or ceasefire has been announced.
