The United Arab Emirates has suspended all flights operated by Iranian airlines, according to NDTV, in order to comply with US sanctions. The measure affects services linked to a significant connection between the two countries. Dubai, the UAE’s commercial hub, is described in the supplied material as a major destination for Iranian carriers, with multiple daily flights.
The city also has a large Iranian community and close business links with Iran. The suspension therefore concerns routes serving both travel and commercial connections, although the material does not quantify the number of flights affected. No start date, duration or list of airlines is provided.
The report also does not state whether alternative travel arrangements have been announced, or whether the UAE or Iranian authorities have given further explanations beyond compliance with the US sanctions.
