The disruptions are due to the temporary partial closure of UAE airspace, described as an exceptional precautionary measure amid evolving regional security developments.

Dubai Airports urged travelers to check directly with their airlines and advised passengers not to head to DXB or DWC at this time.

Authorities said the focus remains on maintaining the highest standards of operational safety and passenger wellbeing while developments continue to be monitored.

The announcement comes amid heightened tensions across the Middle East, as Iranian ballistic missiles targeted U.S.-linked sites in the Gulf region. Claims of interceptions have been reported in multiple countries, including Qatar.

Airspace closures have also been reported across Qatar, Kuwait amid rising security threats.
