Reports say almost all flight operations out of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah have been cancelled or are facing delays after Iran was attacked Saturday morning by the US and Israel.

It was gathered that flights between India and the UAE have been suspended as major Indian airlines halted services to the Middle East amid the evolving regional situation.

India’s biggest carrier IndiGo said, “In view of the evolving situation around Iran and the Middle East, our flight operations to and from the Middle East and other select international sectors have been suspended until March 1, 6 pm IST.”

The airline said. “We understand the impact this may have on your travel plans and sincerely regret the inconvenience.

“We hope you understand that this decision has been taken as a proactive safety measure.”

The airline added that it is extending full flexibility and waivers for travel to and from the Middle East and select international sectors until March 7, applicable to bookings made on or before February 28.
