Emirates Airlines suspended all flight operations to and from Dubai indefinitely after aerial attacks were registered on Dubai International Airport. Passengers were asked not to come to the airport during the suspension.

Early in the morning, two loud explosions were heard in Dubai. They are linked to Iranian retaliatory strikes against Gulf states hosting American military bases — Iran continues air strikes on regional targets as part of the ongoing conflict with Israel and the US.

The airline quickly resumed flights after the security situation in Dubai's airspace stabilized. Passengers with confirmed bookings for afternoon flights were permitted to proceed to the airport, including those connecting through Dubai.

Emirates said it is closely monitoring regional security conditions and that flight schedules will be adjusted if necessary. Dubai is one of the world's busiest aviation hubs, and any disruption to Emirates operations creates a cascading effect for thousands of passengers worldwide.
