Which airlines fly to Dubai right now? Suspensions and return dates

What we know now

As of 30 Oct 2026, 12:00 UTC

Dubai International (DXB) is open, and Emirates and flydubai are flying. Several foreign airlines still have no Dubai flights, and some won't return before the end of the winter season in late March 2027. Flying over parts of the Middle East has been limited since the conflict involving Iran began at the end of February 2026, and attacks on Saudi airports in October added more cancellations in the region.
