PIA halts flights to Fujairah amid Gulf security concerns

  • Flights suspended for 48 hours
Published Updated

Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) suspended flights to Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, for the next 48 hours in view of the security situation in the Gulf region.

In a notification on Wednesday, the PIA said that operations to Al Ain will continue as per schedule.

For now, Al Ain will remain the only destination in the UAE where PIA flights will operate, the notification said.

The suspension comes after Iran launched fresh attacks on the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday.

The attack on the UAE caused a fire in the port of Fujairah, a key export terminal where oil loading by state firm ADNOC was halted, potentially deepening a crisis that has sent energy prices surging.

Gulf Arab states, including the UAE, have faced more than 2,000 missile and drone attacks since the start of the US-Israeli war on Iran on Feb. 28, targeting US diplomatic missions and military bases as well as oil infrastructure, ports, airports and residential and commercial buildings.
