All flights suspended at Dubai airports due to regional threat

Dubai’s airports in the United Arab Emirates have fully suspended flight operations following an aerial threat linked to the US and Israeli attacks on Iran.

A statement from the Dubai Airports Authority confirmed that all flights at both Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Dubai World Central – Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) are suspended until further notice. Passengers were advised not to travel to the airports and to contact their airlines directly for updates on their flights.

The closure affects Dubai’s two main international airports and adds to widespread regional disruptions in air travel caused by escalating tensions in the Persian Gulf. Authorities have not provided a timeline for reopening the airports.
