Iran Conflict 2026Background
Emirates is Dubai's long-haul airline, which cut Kuwait flights after attacks shut its airport. Emirates is the Dubai-based long-haul airline of the Emirates Group, operating a wide-body fleet out of Dubai International Airport (DXB) to destinations across Europe, Asia, the Americas and Africa. It is one of the largest carriers in the Gulf and a major connecting hub for east-west
travel, competing directly with Etihad, Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines for transfer traffic. As a long-haul hub carrier rather than a purely regional operator, Emirates' network gives it wide exposure whenever Gulf airspace or a neighbouring country's airport comes under threat, since disruption to any node in the region can force rapid rerouting or cancellation across its schedule.
