The UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) announced the suspension of flights operated by Iranian airlines to and from the UAE, effective Thursday, September 24, until further notice.
According to an official statement carried by state news agency WAM, the GCAA confirmed that the decision was taken in light of US sanctions that bar Iranian airlines from using airport facilities in countries around the world.
The regulator stated it will keep the public and relevant aviation stakeholders informed of developments pending the eventual resumption of normal air connectivity between the UAE and Iran, urging passengers to rely strictly on official sources for updates.
