UAE airline flydubai canceled flights to Jordan, Iran, Iraq and Israel and diverted others on Saturday, a company spokesperson said, shortly after Israel struck military targets in Iran.

Emirates flights to Baghdad and Tehran are canceled until October 30.  "Customers transiting through Dubai on Emirates with final destinations in Baghdad and Tehran will not be accepted for travel at their point of origin up to and including 30th October 2024," the carrier said. 

Etihad had diverted flights in Iran and Iraq following the Israeli strikes, although has not announced any cancellations. Flights may be delayed over the coming days. 

Iran meanwhile announced it resumed flights as normal from 9 a.m. (0530 GMT), the semi-official news agency Tasnim reported on Saturday following a brief suspension after Israel struck military targets in the country.


Iraq also reopened its airspace and resumed flights, state news agency INA reported on Saturday, citing the Ministry of Transportation, following a brief suspension which it had attributed to regional tensions.
