Finnair suspends its Dubai flights for the winter period, affecting travel between Finland and the United Arab Emirates. The airline says the decision is linked to continuing instability in the Middle East.
Different outlets describe the scope of the suspension in more detail. Yle reports the suspension for the winter season, while Euronews specifies that flights remain cancelled for the entire winter season and indicates services will continue to be suspended until March 2027. The reports do not cite specific incidents, but both attribute the change to the same stated factor: uncertainty stemming from regional instability.
As a result, passengers planning flights to or from Dubai during the winter schedule face cancellations or schedule adjustments. Neither source indicates a timeline for partial restoration during the period, focusing instead on keeping services suspended through the winter months.
