Still suspended
Meanwhile, Emirates has yet to revise its earlier announcement of flight cancellations to/from Tehran until July 9.
'Customers connecting through Dubai (via Emirates) with final destinations in Iran will not be accepted for travel at their point of origin until further notice,' Emirates noted, adding: 'Customers impacted by flight cancellations must contact their travel agency for rebooking.
'We apologise for any inconvenience caused to our customers. We continue to closely monitor developments. The safety of our passengers, employees and operations will always be our top priority,' added the Dubai-based airline.

Sheikh Mohammed announces completion of 1 Billion Meals campaign
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, has announced the completion of the 1 Billion Meals project. The scheme was launched in Ramadan 2022 to provide one billion meals to those in need worldwide. It reached its target this month, with meals distributed across 65 countries. 'Three years ago we launched a humanitarian project aimed at distributing 1 billion meals to those in need globally," said Sheikh Mohammed. "The project has fully achieved its goal this month, distributing one billion meals across 65 countries. An additional 260 million meals will be distributed over the course of next year. 'We have also established sustainable real estate endowments to ensure the continued provision of food aid in the years to come.' The initiative followed on from the previous 10 Million Meals and 100 Million Meals campaigns launched in 2020 and 2021. The project aimed to provide nutritional support to underprivileged individuals, families, women, and children, reflecting the UAE's inclusive approach to humanitarianism, which offers assistance and aid to all communities without discrimination. In 2023, the One Billion Meals Endowment campaign was launched to raise funds that would support a long-term, sustainable approach to helping those in need all over the world. Mohammed Al Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet Affairs and Secretary General of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI), praised the role played by partners, including UN agencies and regional and local organisations, in implementing the initiative. 'We remain committed to strengthening our strategic partnerships locally, regionally and globally to support those most in need and create sustainable solutions to address food challenges," he said. "The MBRGI's commitment to eradicating hunger extends beyond providing meals; it encompasses empowering communities to develop comprehensive strategies to combat poverty and malnutrition. This aligns with the MBRGI's vision for sustainable development and is being actively pursued by a wide range of UN agencies and regional and local partners."

Archer Media delivers immersive road branding for BAYN launch
ORA Development recently launched BAYN, a new luxury residential destination located between Dubai and Abu Dhabi in Ghantout, UAE. To support the launch, the developer partnered with Dubai-based Archer Media to create a full-scale outdoor branding activation designed to guide and welcome guests to the site. The project involved branding a 3.5-kilometre stretch of road leading to the development. Archer Media, known for its outdoor advertising work across the GCC, was responsible for the creative direction, design, permitting, production, and installation of the route's visual branding. The objective was to create a cohesive and high-impact arrival experience that aligned with BAYN's premium positioning. The activation was designed to function both as directional signage and a visual prelude to the brand, featuring clean design cues and subtle messaging to support the tone of the launch. 'This was more than signage – it was a statement. A build-up of emotion, clarity of direction, and a seamless connection between vision and execution,' said Andre Zovighian, Founder & Managing Director of Archer Media. ORA Development described the execution as aligned with the broader vision for the launch, with the branding contributing to the overall sense of occasion. 'Archer Media helped us turn the road to BAYN into part of the brand journey — a well-executed experience that reflected our goals for the project,' the company shared. The activation is an example of how out-of-home media continues to evolve, moving beyond visibility to support brand storytelling, particularly in sectors such as luxury real estate where first impressions carry significant weight.
