These days the summer season and holidays continue. But among all, there is a tremendous increase in the price of air tickets in UAE. The biggest reason for this is the ongoing tension between Iran and Israel. In view of the battle of the two countries, many airlines had to divert route from the aircraft of countries like Iran, Syria and Iraq. The flight time period has increased due to the root divert, fuel consumption increased, operational cost and ticket prices have increased.
Why flights from UAE
If you are planning to go to Mumbai, Nairobi, London or New York in this summer and you will be surprised to hear the ticket price. Most of the flights from Dubai and Abu Dhabi to Asia, Europe, Africa and America have now become more than 15% more expensive.
Region average growth Asia (India, Thailand) 🔺 20–30% Europe (London, Paris) 🔺 25–40% Africa (Nairobi) 🔺 30–50% North America (New York) 🔺 40–60%
In summer, the prices of returning to India from UAE have increased from 15% to 60%.
Some popular roots such as:
Dubai -Mumbai: First ₹ 22,000, now ₹ 35,000+
Abu Dhabi -Delhi: First ₹ 25,000, now ₹ 40,000+
Thousands of Indian migrants return to India to meet their family every year during the summer holidays. But this time the huge increase in fares has spoiled everyone’s condition.
Going from UAE to America also became expensive
If you are thinking of booking flights from America (especially New York, Houston or Chicago), then you will have to pay more money for tickets.
US flights tickets increase by 15–20%

Flights to Kenya, Europe and Israel also hit inflation
Since June 13, there has been a tremendous jump in the prices of flights to Africa and Europe, not only India and America, but also Africa and Europe.
Kenya (Nairobi) flights expensive up to 25%
What is the reason?
Many airlines are now adding stopover directly instead of route – so that flight can be avoided over Iran/Syria.
This has made the journey long, and tickets have become expensive.
Europe (eg Germany) also affects, even if the root is not affected
Why increased prices?
Traffic has increased on alternate routes
Airlines are now operating on crowded routes – which increases demand, and fare up
Mixed effect on flights to Israel
Some flights of Tail Aviv were canceled
Rate raised or diverted due to security reasons on the rest of the routes
