Air travellers flying to or from the UAE continue to face changes to selected flight schedules, with several routes remaining suspended or adjusted amid regional developments, making it increasingly important for passengers to verify their individual flight status before travelling to the airport.

One of the main ongoing changes is flydubai’s suspension of all flights to and from Israel following the incident involving flight FZ1073, while Emirates codeshare services operated by flydubai to and from Tel Aviv also remain affected until further notice.

Passengers whose final destination is Tel Aviv are being advised to review their bookings directly with the airline, as the affected services remain suspended and no confirmed date for a full return to the normal schedule has been announced.

The disruption is not limited to UAE-based airlines, as several international carriers continue to maintain temporary suspensions or revised schedules for services to Dubai and Abu Dhabi while they review operations in response to the wider regional situation.

Air France is among the airlines that have extended the suspension of Dubai services until October 24, while Wizz Air has also suspended services to Dubai and Abu Dhabi until the same date, according to the latest published travel updates.

Several other international airlines have introduced their own timelines for resuming UAE services, meaning travellers should not assume that the same operating conditions apply across all airlines, routes or departure dates.

Passengers are therefore advised to check the official website or mobile application of their airline before leaving for the airport and to closely monitor email and text notifications for any last-minute schedule change, delay or cancellation.

Travellers affected by a cancelled flight should contact the airline or the travel agent used for the booking to confirm available rebooking or refund options rather than travelling to the airport based solely on the original itinerary.

Major UAE airlines also provide online flight-status services that allow passengers to search using a flight number or route, which remains one of the most reliable ways to confirm whether an individual service is operating as scheduled.

Travellers with journeys planned over the coming days should continue checking their booking status regularly, particularly when travelling on routes currently affected by suspensions, as individual airline schedules may continue to change depending on operational developments.
