As of 7 September 2026, Air Canada says its flights to and from Dubai (DXB) and Tel Aviv (TLV) remain suspended until mid-January 2027. The airline’s broader international network continues to operate, but Middle East routing remains subject to short-notice security and airspace changes.

Air Canada is offering flexible options for eligible Dubai and Tel Aviv bookings, including rebooking to later dates or alternate Air Canada destinations. You can track your flight in real time on Wego’s flight tracker.

Is Air Canada Operating Right Now?

Yes, Air Canada is operating across most of its network. The main conflict-related Air Canada suspensions named on the airline’s official Middle East travel update are Dubai and Tel Aviv, both cancelled until mid-January 2027.

EASA’s Gulf bulletin, valid through 30 September 2026 unless reviewed earlier, advises avoiding specified Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman waters, with exceptions for necessary Persian Gulf airport arrivals/departures and caution over land. This is not a blanket airport closure.
