Emirates Suspends All Flights to Dubai Amid Security Concerns

Emirates Airlines has announced the suspension of all flights to Dubai, effective immediately, following advice from the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA) due to ongoing security concerns. The announcement was made on Monday, March 16, 2026, as the airline advised travelers not to go to Dubai International Airport.

The suspension comes amid heightened tensions in the region, particularly with Iran's missile and drone strikes targeting the United Arab Emirates. The situation has prompted Emirates to work closely with relevant authorities to assess the circumstances and support a safe resumption of operations when possible.

Travelers are reminded to check for the latest updates regarding flight suspensions. This decision follows a broader context of military actions in the region, with U.S.
