flydubai is operating a reduced schedule from Dubai International Airport (DXB) with a published network of more than 120 destinations across the Middle East, South Asia, Central Asia, Africa, and Europe.
flydubai’s operational notice continues to describe a reduced schedule, while current timetables include Kuwait, Bahrain and Baghdad services. Regional conditions can still cause short-notice changes.
flydubai Route Status in September 2026
Wego’s timetables retrieved on 7 September provide the following scheduled services. These are published flights, not confirmation of actual operation or available seats on a specific day; all times are local.
| Route group | Status (September 2026) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Kuwait (KWI) | Scheduled | FZ63: daily 15:30 DXB–16:25 KWI, listed through 18 October |
| Bahrain (BAH) | Scheduled | FZ23: daily 07:10 DXB–07:30 BAH, listed through 18 October; other departures vary by day |
| Iran and Iraq | Route-specific | Baghdad FZ211 is listed daily at 16:10–17:55 through 13 September. No Tehran service was returned by the timetable lookup; this does not establish an Iran-wide suspension |
| Other DXB routes | Reduced schedule | Possible short-notice delays, reroutes or cancellations |

Can European Airlines Fly to Dubai?
EASA’s current Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman bulletin, CZIB-2026-07R2, is valid through 30 September 2026. It advises against operations over specified Gulf waters, with an exception for necessary arrivals and departures in the Persian Gulf; separate Iran and Iraq bulletins also apply.
An EASA advisory is not a blanket closure of UAE airports. Airlines assess their own routes, and UAE-based carriers like flydubai and Emirates continue to publish Dubai services.
For a full list of which airlines are flying, see our UAE flight resumption tracker.
Rebooking and Refund Options
If your flydubai flight is cancelled, you generally have these options:
- Rebook free of charge to the same destination within 30 days before or after the original flight, or onto the next scheduled service
- Rebook beyond that 30-day window with no change penalty, though any fare difference applies
- Request a refund, normally as a flydubai voucher under its published policy via Manage booking
The published disruptions policy preserves any statutory rights applicable to your itinerary. For booking-specific notices, see flydubai’s operational updates for any extended flexibility.
If you booked through a travel agent, contact them directly. You can also reach the flydubai Contact Centre in Dubai on (+971) 600 54 44 45.
