The United Arab Emirates’ leading airlines—Emirates, Etihad Airways, flydubai and Air Arabia—have reduced operations, running only a limited number of flights while most scheduled services remain suspended. The decision reflects ongoing safety and operational measures as instability in the region continues to affect major Gulf aviation hubs.

Most of the flights that are running at present are aimed at repatriating residents, moving essential cargo and transporting passengers with confirmed tickets. Airport officials and airlines have advised travellers to check the status of their flights before setting out, as schedules could change at short notice.
