UAE flights were cancelled between Dubai International Airport and Abha, Saudi Arabia, due to escalating US-Iran attacks against each other.
flydubai cancelled two flights from Dubai International Airport to Abha on July 14, following an operational disruption at the Saudi airport.
Services scheduled to leave Terminal 2 at 10.25 am and 4.05 pm were removed from Tuesday’s departure programme. Saudia and flynas also cancelled several domestic rotations serving Abha. Disruption began on Monday evening and continued through Tuesday morning.
Passengers travelling between Dubai and Saudi Arabia’s Asir region face revised itineraries while airlines assess operating conditions. flydubai provides real-time departure and arrival information through its flight status service.
Abha International Airport serves Saudi Arabia’s Asir province from a location between Abha and Khamis Mushait. Each city sits approximately 18 kilometres from the airport.
GACA places Abha within its category for international airports processing between two million and five million passengers annually. Abha achieved 100 per cent compliance across GACA’s operating performance criteria during June 2025. Assessment areas included departure and arrival waiting times.
Similar results continued during September 2025, when Abha again secured 100 per cent compliance within its airport category.
flynas provides route and flight number searches through its official status platform. Its system includes departure dates for July 14 2026, and displays operating information for affected bookings.
Saudia also operates a live status service covering domestic and international arrivals, departures, delays and cancellations.
Passengers should confirm their flight status before travelling to Dubai International Airport or Abha International Airport. Travellers holding connecting bookings should review every sector because cancellation of one rotation can alter the remaining itinerary.
