  "summary": "UAE travellers are experiencing flight disruptions as regional geopolitical tensions persist, with several departures from Dubai International Airport and Zayed International Airport delayed on Sunday. Airlines such as Emirates, flydubai, Air India, and RwandAir have experienced delays, while flydubai and Air Arabia have cancelled several services. Passengers are advised to check their individual flight status before heading to the airport, as schedules may change due to the security situation.
