Emirates Airlines cancels Flights to Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Iran

Emirates Airline has suspended all flights to and from Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Iran following Israeli airstrikes on Iranian targets early Friday.

The strikes reportedly targeted nuclear and military facilities, prompting widespread regional instability and airspace closures across parts of the Middle East.

According to an announcement on the airline’s website, customers with connecting flights through Dubai to these destinations will not be accepted for travel at their point of origin until further notice.

Passenger advisory: Passengers affected by the cancellations are advised to contact their travel agent or the nearest Emirates office for rebooking options. Emirates also recommends-

1. To check flight status at Emirates website

2. To update contact details via the Manage Your Booking portal to receive real-time alerts

"We regret any inconvenience caused and are closely monitoring the evolving situation. The safety of our passengers, crew, and operations continues to be our top priority," Emirates said in a statement on its website.

Wider regional disruption: Flight disruptions are expected to continue due to airspace closures over Iran, Iraq, and Syria.

Dubai International Airport has reported multiple cancellations and delays. Passengers are strongly advised to check with their airline before heading to the airport.

Abu Dhabi Airports issued a statement on X (formerly Twitter), warning of ongoing disruptions at Zayed International Airport and urging passengers to confirm flight status with their airlines before travel.
