Eight flights to Armenia from Iran, Israel, and UAE canceled

ArmInfo. Due to the escalation in the Middle East, eight flights to Yerevan from Iran, Israel, and the UAE have been canceled.

Specifically, three flights have been cancelled from Dubai  (FlyDubai), two flights from Sharjah (Air Arabia), and one flight  each from Tehran (Qeshm Air), Tel Aviv (FlyOne), and Abu Dhabi (Air  Arabia).

As a reminder, on the morning of February 28, the US and Israel  attacked Iran. In retaliation, Iran launched strikes against US bases  in the Middle East. As a result of the US-Israeli aggression, Iranian  Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and several high-ranking Iranian military  officials were killed. The US has so far confirmed the deaths of  three of its military personnel. An Israeli strike on a girls' school  in an Iranian province killed 170 students and their teachers,  according to the latest figures, and wounded dozens more.

The Armenian Foreign Ministry announced today that work is underway  to evacuate Armenian citizens currently in the United Arab Emirates  to Armenia via Oman. "The Armenian Embassy in the UAE will, where  possible, also provide support for transportation from the UAE to  Muscat to arrange a flight. If a flight is arranged, priority will be  given to women, children, and the elderly," the Armenian Foreign  Ministry said in a statement.
