Dubai-based carrier Emirates has temporarily suspended flights to and from Dubai due to multiple regional airspace closures, the airline announced on Saturday.
The disruptions come after US and Israeli strikes on Iran, what US President Donald Trump described as a “major combat operation”, forcing airlines to reroute services that would normally cross the region. With missiles launched from Israel towards Iran and retaliatory strikes from Iran, carriers have been steering clear of the affected airspace, prompting countries including Iran and Iraq to close their airspace.
