Dubai-based flydubai has cancelled all service to 24 destinations, according to Simple Flying. Some routes may come back if the regional situation improves.
Flydubai, an airline based in Dubai, has cancelled all of its flights to 24 destinations. Simple Flying reported the news on October 27, 2026, and published a full list of the affected places.
The outlet says this year has been hard for airlines based in the Gulf, and flydubai has felt the effects too. It adds that some of these services could return later if the situation in the region gets better.
A second outlet, TheTravel, wrote on October 26 about a separate but related story. It reported that Delta Air Lines stopped flying to an international destination popular with visitors from the United States. TheTravel says a rival airline had already been forced to cancel that route.
The notes do not name that destination or give dates for Delta's change. They also do not say whether the two stories are directly linked.
