The UAE suspended all flights operated by Iranian airlines to and from the country on Thursday, September 24. The General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) announced the move, which took effect immediately and will remain in place until further notice.
The decision follows a US ban on Iranian airlines using airports worldwide, Gulf News reported.
Why did the UAE suspend Iranian airline flights?
The UAE suspended Iranian airline flights after the United States banned Iranian carriers from using airports around the world. The GCAA said the suspension complies with this US measure targeting Iran's aviation sector. The ban covers all Iranian airline flights to and from the UAE, effective September 24, until further notice.
What has the GCAA said about the suspension?
The GCAA said it will keep relevant authorities and the public updated as the situation develops. Normal air traffic between the UAE and Iran will resume once conditions allow.
The authority urged the public to rely only on official and authorized sources for information on the suspension.
