Summary
  • All operations at DXB and DWC suspended until further notice
  • Passengers told not to travel and to contact their airline for updates
  • En route flights are being diverted because of airspace restrictions
  • Emirates outlines terminal gates, on‑site services and transfer options

Dubai Airports confirmed that all flight operations at Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central – Al Maktoum International (DWC) are suspended until further notice following regional airspace closures, and guests are advised not to travel to the airport.

Dubai Airports asked passengers to contact their airline directly for the latest flight updates and to check the real‑time flight status page, because schedules are being updated frequently as the situation develops.

The authority said flights en route to Dubai are being diverted because of regional airspace restrictions and airline safety assessments, and it urged passengers to seek specific information from their carriers.

Airport Services Transport And Passenger Guidance

Emirates states that its flights normally arrive and depart from gates A, B or C at Emirates Terminal 3, and it highlights on‑site services such as boutique shopping, dining, sleep pods and spa treatments for travellers.

Transfers between terminals are normally possible by bus, train or on foot, and there are easy transport links from the airport into the city via hotel shuttles, taxis and the Dubai Metro, according to Emirates guidance.

For passengers who have already checked in, Dubai Airports advised that if flights are cancelled or delayed the airline and its ground handling partners will manage checked baggage, and people should contact their airline for help locating bags.
