Emirates Halts Amman Flights Until 22 June 2026
Update (1 July 2026): Emirates resumed services to Amman after 22 June 2026 following the lifting of the regional airspace suspension. The information below is preserved as a record of the disruption.
Emirates halted all services between Dubai and Amman on 13 June 2026 after airspace was closed over Jordan, Iran, Iraq, and Syria amid renewed regional hostilities. The airline confirmed the suspension would remain in place until at least Sunday 22 June, while its flights to Tehran and Baghdad are grounded until 30 June. Etihad, flydubai, and Air Arabia have also withdrawn from multiple routes across the region in parallel.
Dubai International Airport (DXB) reported waves of cancellations and delays on 13 June, with Dubai Airports warning that significant disruption continued on 15 and 16 June. Passengers transiting through Dubai to Amman — including those ticketed on flydubai connections — are not being accepted from their point of origin until further notice, according to Emirates.
Travelers with bookings on the suspended Emirates routes can rebook onto alternative dates without a penalty fee, or request a full refund. Those who booked through a travel agent are advised to contact them directly; all other passengers should reach out to Emirates customer service before heading to the airport. The airline says it is contacting affected customers directly and monitoring the situation closely.
If you are already in Jordan and your return flight is affected, the U.S. Embassy in Amman issued security alerts on 7 June and 11 June urging Americans to stay alert and monitor local conditions. The UK FCDO and other Western governments have issued parallel advisories recommending all travelers keep a close eye on the situation, which remained fluid at the time. Our Jordan safety guide consolidates the current advisory positions and outlines the specific border areas each government designates as higher risk.
