Services to the Middle East continue to be affected by climatic and geopolitical events. Two days after torrential rain<\/a> the United Arab Emirates and Oman, the situation is still very difficult. always chaotic <\/strong>in Dubai (DXB in IATA code), the region's main airport and one of the world's leading international hubs. Between Tuesday evening and Thursday morning, almost 1,500 flights were cancelled, representing 30% of all flights. Speaking to the Khaleej Times, one of Dubai's English-language dailies, Majid Al Joker, vice-president in charge of airport operations, said that Dubai would return to normal within 24 hours. \"\u00a0The situation is gradually returning to normal in Terminals 1 and 3<\/em>\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

His assessment was probably too optimistic. The situation on Friday was still very tense and is likely to remain so. until Sunday 21 April<\/strong>. A message posted on the airport's website now states that \".\u00a0Due to the ongoing disruptions and to contribute to the efficiency of the recovery, DXB is temporarily limiting the number of inbound flights from 12.00 noon on 19 April for a period of 48 hours. Departures will, however, continue to operate.<\/em>. \"<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To Paris CDG, Emirates<\/a> was operating its flight EK075. However, the airline is delaying the departure of flight EK072 from CDG to Dubai by four hours. The flight will land at midnight instead of 8pm. The airline has also indicated that it will not be providing connecting flights for the time being in order to regulate the situation on the ground. Air France, on the other hand, expects its flight to Dubai to arrive on time. The same applies to its two flights to Abu Dhabi. The rain has not affected traffic at the airport in the capital of the UAE.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In Dubai itself, most of the flights delayed or cancelled were to the rest of the Middle East - in particular Saudi Arabia - but also to India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Israel's retaliation against Iran further disrupts air transport<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Another source of disruption, Israel's response to Iran on Friday 19 April<\/a>This is not yet officially confirmed, but follows the launch of drones and missiles last weekend by the Islamic Republic, and has had an impact on air traffic in the region. Airlines have rapidly modified their flight paths <\/strong>over Iran or diverted to other airports. This was in response to the closure of airspace and airports in Tehran, Shiraz and Isfahan following the attack. The aviation authorities also banned aircraft from passing through the western part of its airspace for several hours.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The situation has been back to normal<\/strong>But it has caused numerous delays. While a dozen airlines have avoided Iranian airspace altogether since Iran's attack on Israel on 15 April. Like Australia's Qantas, for example. The carrier is cancelling its non-stop flight between London and Perth. Replacing it with a flight with a technical stopover in Singapore.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
