Dubai: UAE travellers face another day of flight disruption, with services to Saudi Arabia among the most affected as airlines continue to adjust schedules amid regional security concerns.
Flights between the UAE and Iran remain suspended for Iranian carriers, while services to Israel are operating under differing restrictions.
Several Emirates, Etihad, flydubai and Air Arabia flights to Saudi Arabia have also been cancelled, while international airlines continue to extend suspensions and postpone their return to Dubai and Riyadh.
For passengers travelling on November 13, the picture is mixed. Some routes are operating, others are running reduced schedules, and several international carriers have pushed their return dates into late November 2026 and beyond. Travellers should not assume that a previously confirmed booking guarantees that a flight will operate as scheduled.
