Dubai, Mar 7: Emirates on Saturday announced the temporary suspension of all flights to and from Dubai, advising passengers not to travel to the airport until further notice.

In a statement posted on X, the airline said flight operations have been halted due to the evolving situation and that further updates will be shared once more information becomes available.

“All flights to and from Dubai have been suspended until further notice. Please do not go to the airport,” the airline said, emphasising that the safety of passengers and crew remains its highest priority.

To assist travellers affected by the disruption, Emirates has introduced flexible travel options. Passengers holding bookings for travel between February 28 and March 31 will be allowed to modify their plans.
