UAE travel alert: Air Arabia extends flights cancellations - 10 destinations affected

Dubai: Air Arabia has announced extensive flight cancellations across its network due to ongoing regional tensions and the closure of key airspace corridors.

In its latest travel advisory, the airline confirmed that all flights to Iran and Iraq have been suspended until June 17.

On Saturday, June 15, the airline suspended numerous services operating between Sharjah and cities across eight other countries, including:

Additional services between Ras Al Khaimah and Moscow, and between Abu Dhabi and cities such as Moscow, Yerevan, Tbilisi, and Baku, were also affected. Return flights from all these destinations to the UAE have likewise been canceled.

Air Arabia stated that passengers connecting through Sharjah or Abu Dhabi to any of the impacted destinations will not be accepted for travel from their point of origin until further notice.

The airline also warned that other services may face delays or rerouting due to the volatile security and airspace conditions across the region.

Affected travellers are advised to check their flight status on the Air Arabia website or contact their travel agent. The airline emphasised it is monitoring the situation closely and reaffirmed that passenger and crew safety remains its top priority.

Due to regional tensions and airspace restrictions, Air Arabia (flight codes G9 from Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah, and 3L from Abu Dhabi) has canceled or delayed multiple flights. Affected routes include key destinations in Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Russia, and Central Asia.
