Emirates, Flydubai and Etihad Airways will ‌resume a limited number of flights on Monday, mainly to help repatriate stranded passengers, as global carriers grapple with disruptions from the escalating Iranian conflict.

Axar.az reports, citing Reuters, Israeli and U.S. attacks on Iran and Tehran's response forced the closure of airspace across parts of the Middle East, including the United Arab Emirates, and shut key airports such as Dubai and Doha.

The UAE civil aviation authority will ⁠begin operating "special flights" across the country's airports, state news agency WAM reported, to help some of the tens of thousands of passengers stranded in the region leave.
