Drone and missile attacks have caused high anxiety across the region, but experts say the danger to commercial airliners is “fairly remote.”

Along with its flexible rebooking options, United Airlines was also forced to divert one of its flights due to unrest in the Middle East. According to a passenger on the affected flight, United Airlines handled the situation as best it could and remained transparent with its passengers despite the tension.

One of the world's busiest airports is shut down and flights around the Middle East are canceled as the region is rocked by air strikes in and around Iran.

Emirates and FlyDubai said they were making a small number of flights to and from Dubai starting Monday night after shutting down because of airstrikes in the region.

There are only two flight cancellations at Birmingham Airport today (Friday 6 March) as there are four Dubai routes scheduled to operate.
