Edinburgh Airport has been affected by major flight disruptions as airlines including Emirates suspend or reduce services to and from the Middle East amid the ongoing conflict involving Iran.
Emirates confirmed that an Edinburgh service was among 45 flights departing Dubai on Tuesday, though the wider picture remains one of significant cancellation and disruption across the region. Qatar Airways has indicated it will remain grounded until at least Friday.
Passengers Affected
Travellers with connections through Dubai, Doha and other Gulf hubs have been left stranded or facing significant delays. Edinburgh serves as a direct connection point for several Gulf carrier routes, meaning disruption in the region has a direct impact on Scottish passengers.
The UK government has chartered a repatriation flight from Oman for British nationals seeking to return home, with further flights being arranged. Passengers with upcoming travel booked through the Middle East are being advised to contact their airlines for the latest information.
