  "summary": "The recent escalation between the United States and Iran has led to a mixed picture of operating, delayed, and cancelled flights in the UAE. Emirates, Etihad Airways, flydubai, and Air Arabia are among the airlines continuing to operate key services, while some routes remain disrupted. Passengers are advised to check individual flight status before travelling, as schedules can change at short notice. Some notable cancellations include Emirates flight EK945 Dubai-Basra and flydubai flights G9068 Sharjah-Kuwait and G9124 Sharjah-Kuwait. International airlines are gradually restoring services to the UAE, but schedules remain mixed, with some carriers operating normally and others running reduced services.",
