  "summary": "The UAE's aviation sector is grappling with a wave of schedule changes and cancellations due to heightened regional tensions and security concerns. As tensions escalate around the Strait of Hormuz and security issues persist across the Middle East, airlines are making adjustments to their flight schedules. Notably, the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority has suspended flights operated by Iranian airlines to and from the UAE until further notice, affecting direct services of carriers such as Iran Airtour, Caspian Airlines, and Karun Airlines. Similarly, direct flights between the UAE and Israel remain subject to security restrictions, with flydubai and Emirates suspending their Dubai-Tel Aviv services until further notice. Meanwhile, Etihad continues to operate direct Abu Dhabi-Tel Aviv flights, and Israeli carriers El Al and Arkia face delays or suspensions. Passengers with bookings on these airlines are advised to contact their travel providers for rebooking and refund arrangements.",
