Airlines across the United Arab Emirates are operating limited flight schedules as adverse weather conditions and regional disruptions continue to impact operations, prompting authorities to issue travel advisories for passengers. Travellers have been urged to check flight status before heading to the airport and to allow extra time for their journeys. Airlines have also advised passengers to travel only if they have confirmed bookings.
Major carriers, including Emirates, Etihad Airways, flydubai and Air Arabia, said operations may continue to face delays or cancellations over the coming days due to unstable weather conditions.
Etihad Airways said it is running a limited schedule from Abu Dhabi to key destinations, with existing bookings being accommodated. The airline advised passengers to monitor updates and manage bookings online, including options for rebooking or refunds.
Emirates also confirmed that it is operating a reduced number of flights and asked passengers to regularly check for schedule changes. Customers can rebook travel or request refunds through official channels.
flydubai warned that forecasted weather conditions could disrupt operations at Dubai International Airport and affect both arrivals and departures. The airline has resumed services on a limited schedule and advised passengers to stay updated through its website.
Air Arabia said adverse weather may impact flights from Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah, with selected routes continuing operations until mid-April. The airline has provided flexible options, including free date changes, credit vouchers and refunds.
Several airlines have expanded support measures, allowing passengers to modify travel plans without additional charges and encouraging the use of online tools for updates.
Authorities also cautioned passengers against fraudulent online accounts, advising them to rely only on official airline communication for updates.
The advisory comes as weather conditions across the UAE are expected to remain unstable, with disruptions likely to continue in the near term.
Passengers have been advised to stay informed, keep contact details updated, and avoid travelling to airports without confirmed flights.
