65 flights cancelled as Middle East war continues to weigh on airline operations
Aircraft grounded, delays mount as rising costs and airspace uncertainty strain schedules
March 31, 2026

At least 65 flights to and from key Middle Eastern destinations, including Dubai, were cancelled on Monday as escalating tensions in the region disrupted airline operations and forced carriers to revise schedules.
The renewed intensity in the Iran-US-Israel conflict has made it difficult for airlines to sustain operations, affecting both domestic and international routes. Several aircraft have remained grounded for days in Pakistan and other countries, increasing parking costs billed in dollars.
Airlines are also facing delays and operational uncertainty due to shifting airspace conditions, with ongoing disruptions reversing earlier signs of stabilisation in flight operations.
