Emirates, the Middle East's largest airline, announced the immediate suspension of all flights to and from Dubai until further notice.

The decision follows a security breach on Saturday involving an aerial interception directly over Dubai International Airport amid ongoing hostilities involving Iran.

In a statement posted on the social media platform X, the airline issued an urgent directive to travelers: "Please do not go to the airport."

The suspension marks a significant setback for the global travel hub, which handles the highest volume of international traffic in the world.
