Airblue route suspensions
Airblue’s live board shows individual cancellations alongside scheduled UAE services. The entries below are flight-specific, not evidence of a route-wide suspension.
| Route | Cancelled flight | Date and status |
|---|---|---|
| Karachi-Dubai / Dubai-Karachi | PA110 / PA111 | 7 September: cancelled |
| Dubai-Lahore | PA411 | 8 September: cancelled |
A cancellation can change before departure. Use Airblue’s live tracker for the final status rather than treating this table as a permanent route change.

This is not Airblue’s complete network, and a listed route is not guaranteed on every date. Check the exact flight number before travelling.
Gulf airspace risk
EASA’s bulletin revised on 31 August 2026, valid through 30 September unless reviewed earlier, advises covered operators to avoid specified maritime airspace over the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. It allows necessary airport arrivals and departures in the Persian Gulf with risk mitigation and calls for caution over land.
