If you are travelling from the UAE today, check your flight status before leaving for the airport. Monitor your airline’s website or mobile app for the latest updates and ensure your airline has your current contact details. Allow extra time for your journey in case of operational changes, besides following official travel advice issued by your country’s authorities if travelling internationally.

All these instructions come in the wake of the US, the UK, Canada and Australia renewing travel advisories to warn their citizens about the security situation in the Middle East remaining unpredictable.

The advisory urges travellers to be prepared for flight cancellations, airspace closures, and travel disruptions.

Airlines across the region have been continuously adjusting schedules, though operations at UAE airports seem normal.

The US Department of State continues to maintain a Worldwide Caution, warning American citizens of a ‘complex security environment’ and the potential for further escalation in the Middle East. – Image credit: Freepik – editor@nrifocus.com
