Dubai Flights Cancelled: Here's your ultimate guide to travelling smoothly

International air travel across the Middle East faces unprecedented disruptions as major carriers worldwide suspend services to Gulf hubs, including Dubai flights. British Airways, United Airlines, and American Airlines have all halted flights to Dubai, Doha, and Bahrain – marking the first large-scale cancellations in the region since 2023. These measures come alongside extended flight suspensions by UAE-based airlines, creating a perfect storm of travel disruptions affecting thousands of passengers daily. Live: Several flights cancelled, UAE launches emergency airport response plan Emirates Airline has extended its suspension of flights to Tehran, Baghdad, and Basra through June 30, with strict policies prohibiting transit passengers bound for these destinations. The Dubai-based carrier continues to monitor the situation hourly, prioritizing passenger safety while working to minimize inconvenience. Similarly, flydubai maintains its complete suspension of services to Iran, Iraq, Israel, and Syria through month's end, including its St. Petersburg route. Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways faces its own challenges, having suspended all Tel Aviv flights until July 15 while maintaining reduced service to Amman and Beirut. The airline emphasizes that transit passengers attempting to reach suspended destinations via Abu Dhabi International Airport will be denied boarding at their original departure points. Low-cost carriers face particularly severe disruptions. Air Arabia continues its suspension of flights to Iran, Iraq, Russia, and several Caucasus nations through June 30, with Jordan services paused until June 25. Wizz Air has taken the most drastic measures, cancelling all Tel Aviv and Amman flights until September 15 while rerouting numerous other services. Important Notice from #UAEMoFA to UAE nationals, residents, and visitors regarding flight schedules. #Twajudi — MoFA وزارة الخارجية (@mofauae) June 14, 2025 The ripple effects extend beyond Middle Eastern carriers. British Airways has suspended all Dubai, Doha, and Bahrain flights through June, while United Airlines has indefinitely paused its Dubai operations. American Airlines cancelled Doha services, and several other international carriers including Air Canada and Air France-KLM have suspended select Gulf routes. Dubai Airports authorities confirm ongoing delays and disruptions at both DXB and Al Maktoum International, advising travelers to arrive at least three hours before scheduled departures. All airlines strongly recommend passengers verify their flight status directly through official websites or mobile apps before heading to airports, as third-party platforms may not reflect real-time changes. With transit passengers to suspended destinations being turned away at originating airports, travelers are urged to review their itineraries carefully. Airlines universally emphasize the importance of updating contact information in bookings to ensure receipt of critical updates. As the situation remains fluid, carriers maintain that passenger and crew safety remains their absolute priority, with operational teams working around the clock to monitor developments and adjust schedules accordingly. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images & Feature Image: Pinterest

Dubai Villa Renovation Redefines Arabian Ranches 2 Pricing

A fully overhauled six‑bedroom villa in Arabian Ranches 2 has sold for AED 14.5 million, establishing a new sales record for the community. The property, refurbished by Dubai-based firm DMDC, went under offer at a premium price thanks to an aesthetic blending minimalist design with luxury fittings—a move that signals growing appetite for turnkey high-end homes in the suburb. The home occupies a generous 7,543‑sq ft plot and boasts two spacious living rooms, walk‑in wardrobes, en‑suite bathrooms, a formal dining area and a dedicated study. The standout feature is the German Hacker kitchen, designed for gourmet cooking. Outdoors, the villa offers a private pool, professionally landscaped grounds, a fully equipped alfresco kitchen and a leisure zone intended for hosting guests. DMDC's statement reveals their ambition: crafting a tailored, modern‑minimalist residence designed to appeal to discerning buyers. CEO Raji Daou emphasised that the transformation aimed to elevate both form and function, with the sale price seen as affirmation of their vision. ADVERTISEMENT Industry analysts point to this transaction as emblematic of a broader trend in Dubai's villa market, where investors are acquiring properties, commissioning high‑end refurbishments and reselling them at premium values. The limited availability of turnkey luxury homes in areas like Arabian Ranches 2—combined with demand from both end users and investors—fuels escalating prices. Data for the first quarter of 2025 shows the average asking price for villas in Arabian Ranches 2 hovering around AED 6.9 million, making this AED 14.5 million deal more than double the standard market value. Historically, sales in sub‑communities such as Rasha and Rosa have occasionally breached the AED 10 million threshold, but rarely reach this level. Established by Emaar in 2013, Arabian Ranches 2 comprises over 1,700 themed villas and townhouses across multiple sub‑communities. It remains a preferred choice for families due to its emphasis on space, greenery and community living. Recent market insights indicate average villa prices rising by around 12–15 percent annually, a trend supported by strong demand and constrained supply. DMDC, founded in 2021, has rapidly gained prominence in Dubai's renovation sector, operating with a team of over 700 professionals. The company's portfolio spans residential, retail and office projects, with a focus on sustainable practices and innovative design. Their signature remodels combine functional enhancements with aesthetic coherence—shown here through the sleek kitchen, ample wardrobe capacity and sophisticated use of space. Local luxury real‑estate experts interpret this sale as more than a one‑off deal—it is indicative of a shift in buyer behaviour. With more end users seeking plug‑and‑play luxury offerings, firms that deliver on design, convenience and exclusivity are poised to dominate. Arabian Ranches 2, with its well‑established schools, parks and retail centres, is increasingly seen as a prime venue for high‑net‑worth families. Observers note that the villa's result could trigger further high‑value refurbishments across the community, as owners look to capitalise on the momentum. DMDC's mode—acquiring mid‑tier stock, elevating it through premium design and reselling at record prices—is expected to broaden the upper end of the market.
