Emirates Airlines has announced the cancellation of flights to and from Iran on October 8. This comes amid escalating tensions in the Middle East region. The airline— which further halted flights to Beruit, the capital of Lebanon— has resumed flights to Iraq.

Suspended flights

Emirates is not the only airline to have cancelled flights to and from Iran. In a statement on its website, Qatar Airways cancelled all flights to Iran, Iraq, and Lebanon. The airline did not state when it would resume. German airline, Lufthansa, announced the suspension of flights to Tel Aviv until October 31 while flights to Tehran have been halted until October 26.

Other airlines that have adjusted flights to and from the Middle East region are Air Algerie, Air Europa, Air France-KLM, Air India, Delta Air Lines, FlyDubai, Iran Air, RyanAir, Virgin Atlantic, Wizz Air, Iraqi Airways, Bulgaria Air, United Airlines, among others.

Emirates, in a statement on its website, said:

“Flights to/from Iran (Tehran) are cancelled on 08th October 2024. Customers transiting through Dubai with final destination Tehran will not be accepted for travel at their point of origin until 15th October 2024. Emirates’ flights to/from Beirut remain cancelled up to and including 15 October 2024. Customers transiting through Dubai with final destination Beirut will not be accepted for travel at their point of origin until further notice. Impacted customers must contact their booking agents for alternative travel options or contact us if they have booked with Emirates directly.”

Backstory

Iran on Tuesday fired about 200 missiles towards Israel, some of which flew over Jordanian and Iraqi airspace, making it Iran’s second attack on Israel this year. In April, it fired about 300 missiles and drones. The tension in the region affected hundreds of flights, leaving most passengers stranded.
