UAE travellers began the week with ongoing flight disruptions as a result of cancellations and delays caused by Iran tensions. Emirates and Etihad continued to operate most services, but multiple flights were running late, while flydubai and Air Arabia cancelled some regional routes.

US President Donald Trump expressed expectations for further talks with Tehran this week, though Washington rejected the Iranian plan.
