UK tourists have been told they 'will not be accepted' for travel
All flights operated by Emirates to three countries have been cancelled following regional unrest in the Middle East. Anyone travelling from the UK via Dubai to certain destinations 'will not be accepted for travel'. Unrest has worsened in recent weeks, with an escalation in tensions between Iran and Israel. On Tuesday evening, Iran launched almost 200 missiles towards Israel in retaliation for Israel's campaign against the Hezbollah group in Lebanon.
Emirates confirmed in a statement: 'Emirates is cancelling all regular flights to/from Iraq , Iran , and Jordan on 4th and 5th October due to regional unrest. Customers transiting through Dubai with final destinations in Iraq, Iran, and Jordan will not be accepted for travel at their point of origin until further notice. 'Impacted customers must contact their booking agents for alternative travel options or contact us if they have booked with Emirates directly.
