Emirates to resume flights to Amman on June 23
It is important to note that other airlines operating within the UAE continue to operate flights to Jordan in accordance with regional developments.
It is therefore advisable for travellers to follow the latest updates through official channels.
Earlier, Emirates has announced the temporary suspension of its flights to Jordan and Lebanon until June 22, citing regional conditions as the reason for this decision.
It is to be noted that Air Arabia flights to Jordan remain suspended until June 25, 2025.
In the meantime, Flydubai resumed daytime operations of its flights to Jordan and Lebanon on June 17.
Flydubai also announced the temporary suspension of flights to and from Iran, Iraq, Israel, Syria, and Saint Petersburg until June 30.
The airline has explained that this decision also includes passengers who are transiting through Dubai to their final destinations in the aforementioned countries or airports, as they will not be permitted to travel from their point of departure until further notice.
Flydubai has urged affected passengers to review their rebooking options via the booking management page on its website or through travel agents.
The airline has stressed the importance of updating their contact information to ensure prompt notification. The airline has acknowledged the potential for disruption to other flights, including delays and rerouting.
It has emphasised that it is closely monitoring the situation and that the safety of passengers, crew, and operations remains its foremost priority.
Flydubai has urged all passengers to check their flight status on the company's website, flydubai.com, or to contact the customer service centre for the latest information.

Meanwhile, Emirates is participating in the 55th edition of the International Paris Airshow until June 19.
After an over 15-year hiatus from the show, Emirates is showcasing its newest aircraft – the Airbus A350 – featuring the airline's next-generation cabin design, latest interiors, and technologies.
