Gulf News's list of 26 October showed no flight to or from a Pakistani airport among the cancellations at Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Sharjah. The only Pakistani service in the list was PIA's flight PK217 from Peshawar to Abu Dhabi, delayed from 5.50pm to 6.45pm; the cancellations of 23, 24 and 25 October had each included an Air Arabia Abu Dhabi route, to Multan or Faisalabad. flydubai's suspension of its Islamabad, Lahore and Peshawar flights was due to end on Monday 26 October, and no announcement from the airline confirming the restart has been found, so passengers from those three cities should confirm with flydubai or their travel agent that the flight is operating before paying for a ticket. Gulf News's briefing of 26 October said Dubai International and Zayed International airports continue to operate with some cancellations and schedule changes, and reported no new guidance from the UAE government for residents.
PIA's Riyadh flights remain suspended with no date, and a ballistic missile aimed at Riyadh was intercepted early on 26 October (see the Saudi Arabia thread). Confirm your flight with the airline before leaving for the airport.
