Major Gulf flights continued operating on Tuesday, July 14, as United Arab Emirates airspace remained open despite renewed military attacks involving the United States and Iran.
The UAE General Civil Aviation Authority had authorised a return to normal operations across the country’s flight information region. Its current aeronautical service advises airlines to consult live notices for any temporary restrictions or operational changes.
Dubai International Airport remained open, with Emirates maintaining most scheduled services. However, airlines continued adjusting individual flights and routes as the regional security situation changed.
Qatar Airways said it was rebuilding its network to more than 160 destinations after restoring 26 international gateways in June. Hamad International Airport in Doha also continued handling connecting passengers.
Emirates, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways and Gulf Air were operating substantial portions of their networks. It also listed continuing suspensions by several European and Central Asian airlines.
British Airways has suspended its Dubai service until October 25 and introduced flexible options for customers booked on selected Middle Eastern routes through October 31. The airline said it would continue reviewing regional conditions.
Emirates introduced travel cover in June that includes medical protection for conflict-related incidents, hotel support during certain disruptions and a free trip extension of up to 30 days.
Etihad separately launched complimentary medical insurance for eligible international visitors arriving in Abu Dhabi, valid for up to 15 days between July 1 and December 31.

Pakistani passengers travelling through Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Doha should confirm their flight directly with the operating airline before leaving for the airport because schedules may change at short notice.
