There is a lot of confusion among passengers regarding flights from Dubai Airport (DXB) and DWC. There are reports of some limited flights starting from the evening of March 2, 2026, but the official website is still talking about suspension. This is a very delicate time for Indians living in and traveling from Gulf countries, hence it is very important to have correct information.
What is the latest status of flights?
It has been claimed in many media reports that a very limited number of flights can resume from Dubai Airport from the evening of March 2. However, if you look at the official website of Dubai Airports, it still says that all flight operations are closed until further notice. The ban was triggered by the February 28 airspace closure and tensions in the Middle East. Till now no major official has made it clear as to when normal flights will be completely restored.
Keep these things in mind before going to the airport
Passengers are advised not to rely on any news and reach the airport directly. This can become a cause of trouble for you. Before planning your travel, be sure to know the following things:
First of all, talk to your airline over phone or email and confirm the flight status. Avoid going to the airport without confirmation from the airline, as it may be crowded. Emirates Airlines is giving first opportunity to those passengers whose tickets were already booked or re-booked. According to GCAA, operations are currently going on only under special circumstances.
