Dubai News LIVE: Airport issues cancelled flights update as Iran missile attacks continue
Reach Daily Express | March 4, 2026 12:39 AM CST

Dubai International Airport has issued updated advice for travellers stranded in the UAE amid missile attacks from Iran. The airport urged people not to travel unless they have specifically been contacted by their airline to confirm their flight is still going ahead; otherwise, they will be turned away. It said the decision on whether to cancel a flight was down to the airline, and so the latest updates will be on their apps and websites. A handful of flights are operating on Tuesday to bring Brits back home, though the majority remain cancelled.

Emirates plans to operate two flights to Heathrow and one each to Gatwick and Manchester. Etihad Airways has scheduled one UK flight on Tuesday, from Abu Dhabi to Heathrow. Qatar Airways - which usually serves Heathrow and Gatwick from Qatar - said its operations remain suspended because of the closure of Qatari airspace. British Airways also cancelled its timetabled flights to Heathrow from Abu Dhabi, Amman, Bahrain, Doha and Dubai on Tuesday.
