UAE Suspends All Iranian Airline Flights Amid US Sanctions: Report
The suspension follows U.S. sanctions on Iran’s aviation sector, which have forced several Iranian carriers to cut international routes, officials said.
- All flights by Iranian airlines to The United Arab Emirates were canceled since midnight on Sept 24, ISNA news agency reported. The UAE suspended operations in compliance with United States sanctions on Iran's aviation sector.
- The United States imposed sanctions on Iran's aviation sector in early Sept, requiring companies to cease servicing Iranian planes by Sept 23 or face exclusion from the dollar-based financial system.
- An Iran Airtour flight from Tehran to Dubai faced cancellation shortly before its scheduled departure, with tickets already issued. The airline's operation exemplified broader disruptions across Iranian carriers to the UAE.
- Turkmenistan joined the restrictions on Sept 24, denying Iranian airlines authorization to fly over its airspace. A Tehran-to-Dushanbe flight returned to Imam Khomeini Airport after being unable to reach its destination.
- Despite restrictions on major carriers Iran Air and Mahan, several small Iranian airlines continue operating to China and Armenia, which refuse to comply with United States pressure. This creates a fragmented aviation landscape across the region.
