Flights to Dubai have seen a sharp decline in passenger numbers due to safety concerns during the conflict involving Iran. Some flights from Europe are operating at only 5% to 10% capacity.
Following military strikes in late February, airlines in the region significantly reduced their operations. Dubai International Airport was temporarily closed after a drone attack caused a fire at a fuel facility.
Many flights have been forced to turn back mid-journey or take alternative routes. Airlines are now using special flight corridors and additional security measures to ensure passenger safety.
