The Gulf region is witnessing significant disruptions in flight operations following joint Israel-US attacks on Iran. The turbulence, reported on Saturday, has struck the hub of Dubai, known for its crucial role in global aviation and commerce.

Both Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central – Al Maktoum International (DWC) airports are grappling with multiple cancellations and delays, following the partial closure of the UAE's airspace. Passengers are urged to check with their airlines and avoid heading to the airports without confirmation.

Regional heavyweights like Emirates and Air India have announced updates and cancellations, affecting flights across the Gulf, including to major cities such as Abu Dhabi, Dammam, and Tel Aviv.
