United Airlines is operating its global network in June 2026, but its United-operated Tel Aviv (TLV) and Dubai (DXB) services remain cancelled until further notice.
United Cargo’s latest Middle East operational bulletin states that all United departures to and from Tel Aviv and Dubai are cancelled until further notice. Travelers should use United flight status and My Trips rather than relying on third-party resumption dates.
Is United Airlines Operating Right Now?
Yes. United continues to operate across the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Africa, and South Asia from its US hubs.
The Middle East pause is a safety-driven exception tied to the wider regional conflict and active airspace risk.
Which United Airlines Routes Are Operating?
| Region | Examples of operating United routes |
|---|---|
| South Asia | Delhi and Mumbai via Newark |
| Europe | London Heathrow, Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Istanbul |
| Asia-Pacific | Hong Kong, Tokyo Narita, Tokyo Haneda, Singapore, Manila |
| Africa | Lagos, Cape Town, Johannesburg |
Which United Airlines Routes Are Suspended?
| Route | June 2026 status |
|---|---|
| United-operated flights to and from Tel Aviv (TLV) | Cancelled until further notice. |
| United-operated flights to and from Dubai (DXB) | Cancelled until further notice. |
EASA’s current Middle East and Persian Gulf CZIB remains active until 10 June 2026 and covers the region United would need to assess before resuming. A 3 June attack on Kuwait International Airport shows that Gulf disruption remains a live risk.
If Your United Flight Is Cancelled or Disrupted
Use United My Trips to review rebooking options or United’s refund form if your itinerary is eligible.
If the ticket was sold by a travel agent or partner airline, contact the seller for handling. Keep phone and email alerts enabled in your United account.
How to Check Your United Flight Status
Flight Resumption and What’s Next
United has not provided a firm public restart date on its official operational bulletin for Tel Aviv or Dubai. The current verified status is “until further notice.”
Watch for a United newsroom, United travel waiver, or booking-system update before assuming a resumption date. Regional conditions may change quickly.
