Emirates has announced the temporary suspension of all flights to and from Dubai, urging passengers not to travel to the airport as the situation is being monitored.
In a brief statement, the airline confirmed that operations have been halted as a precautionary measure, emphasizing that passenger and crew safety remains its top priority.
“All flights to and from Dubai have been temporarily suspended. Please do not go to the airport. Emirates will share updates when available. We would like to thank our customers for their understanding and patience. The safety of our passengers and crew is our highest priority and will not be compromised,” the airline said.
Passengers Asked to Await Further Updates
Emirates advised customers to wait for official communication from the airline before making any travel plans.
The airline said updates will be issued as soon as more information becomes available regarding the resumption of flights.
The suspension affects departures and arrivals through Dubai International Airport, one of the world’s busiest aviation hubs and a key transit point for global travelers.
The airline reiterated that the decision to suspend flights was made with safety considerations in mind.
The move comes amid escalting tension in the Middle East where a joint US-Israel attack on Iran prompted retaliatory attack on US allies in the region, paralysing most of air travel.
While no timeline has yet been provided for when normal operations will resume, Emirates assured passengers that the situation is under continuous review.
Travelers with upcoming bookings have been encouraged to monitor official airline communication channels for updates and further instructions.
