中東の主要航空会社、エミレーツやエティハドを含むものが、米国・イスラエルによるイラン攻撃とそれに伴う空域閉鎖を受けて、ドバイやアブダビなどのハブから限定されたフライト運用を再開し始めた。カタール航空はカタール空域の閉鎖が続くため、運航を停止したまま。旅行者は状況が流動的なため、航空会社に直接最新情報を確認するよう勧められている。
中東での紛争の激化は、2026年2月下旬の米国・イスラエルによるイラン攻撃が引き金となり、イラン、イスラエル、イラク、カタール、アラブ首長国連邦、バーレーンを含む各国で広範な空域閉鎖を引き起こした。これにより商業航空が混乱し、航空会社はフライトを迂回または運航を停止せざるを得なくなり、エミレーツ、エティハド、カタール航空、Turkish Airlines、Saudiaなどの地域キャリアが乗客の安全を確保するために対応している。
Xでの議論では、中東の緊張とミサイル脅威が続く中でUAEハブからエミレーツとエティハドが限定フライトを再開したことが強調されており、カタール航空は停止中。センチメントは安定化と政府の立ち往生旅行者支援への慎重な楽観から、航空専門家の危険な空域リスク警告、安全懸念、旅行者の混乱と再予約への苛立ち、ドバイ空港の持続的な低トラフィックの報告まで様々。

With 17 years of experience in commercial aviation, I can state unequivocally that the proposed repatriation flights by Etihad and Emirates carry significant operational risk due to the highly volatile and contested nature of the regional airspace.

Even with planned rerouting…
They are not panicking.

Ethihad and Emirates have resumed limited flights again.
The government is paying for the accomodation for all the stranded tourists.
These are not expats these are tourists.
People are quite relaxed about it.
It is not that all bombs go off.

The US-Israel-Iran war starting February 28, 2026, has caused over 37,000 flight cancellations in the Middle East through March 8, alongside airspace closures, nearly $1 billion in aviation losses, and oil prices up over 15%. Airlines including Qatar Airways, Emirates, and Etihad are resuming limited schedules, while Air India adds extra flights amid surging airfares and battered stocks.
As limited flights resumed from UAE hubs on March 2, 2026, amid ongoing US-Israel strikes on Iran and regional retaliation, airlines like Etihad and Emirates offered partial relief to stranded passengers. However, thousands of cancellations persist across Gulf airports, with full recovery uncertain as the conflict shows no signs of abating.
