On Thursday, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) announced the suspension of all flights operated by Iran's airlines, in accordance with US sanctions imposed in the aftermath of the Middle East conflict. The ISNA news agency reported that the suspension came into effect at midnight.
The cancellation is applicable to all flights by Iranian airlines heading to the UAE. This decision was not confirmed by UAE officials. A passenger on an Iran Airtour flight from Tehran to Dubai shared that the flight was cancelled shortly before its scheduled departure, despite tickets having been issued.
Dubai, the UAE's commercial center, is a crucial destination for Iranian airlines, with numerous daily flights. Dubai International Airport, which connects to Europe, Asia, and Africa, often serves as a transit point for Iranian travelers and is a common destination for business trips. Although Turkey remains an open destination for Iranian travelers, Turkmenistan has joined the list of countries restricting Iranian flights.
On Thursday, Turkmenistan refused permission for Iranian airlines to fly over its airspace, causing the Tehran-Dushanbe flight to return to Tehran's Imam Khomeini Airport without landing.
