British Airways resumes Dubai flights as Middle East disruption affects 7,800 services

British Airways is back on the London Heathrow–Dubai International Airport route with 1 daily winter service, but 7,800 flights are affected by continuing Middle East disruption as of 4 November 2026. Security concerns following attacks on Saudi airports and infrastructure have prompted airlines to extend suspensions, reduce schedules, and offer rebooking flexibility across Saudi Arabia and nearby hubs. Emirates has restored Jeddah flights, while services to Riyadh and Dammam are due to follow. If your journey's affected, compensation is unlikely for disruption outside the airline's control, but refunds, alternative flights, and care may still be available depending on your route and circumstances.

Emirates and Etihad cancellations among 95 disrupted UAE flights

Passengers traveling through Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah faced cancellations and delays affecting 95 flights on 4 November 2026, with Emirates, Etihad Airways, flydubai, and Air Arabia among the airlines issuing updates. Etihad's Abu Dhabi–Dammam and Abu Dhabi–Riyadh services remain suspended through 19 November, while selected Jeddah flights are due to return from 6 November. If you're traveling, check directly with your airline before heading to the airport, as services vary by route. Compensation is unlikely for disruption caused by regional tensions and airspace restrictions, but passengers on covered flights may still have rights to refunds, rebooking, and care during their wait.

OR Tambo International Airport warns of storm delays and diversions

Thunderstorms over Gauteng have prompted a travel warning at Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport, with arriving and departing passengers facing possible delays and diversions following an advisory issued on 2 November 2026. A flight from Cape Town has already been diverted to Gaborone in Botswana, and continued poor visibility could cause further schedule changes and missed connections. If you're traveling through Johannesburg, check your airline's app, airport flight boards, and official Airports Company South Africa updates before heading to the terminal. Compensation isn't expected for this weather disruption, but you should ask your airline about rebooking, refund options, and support during your wait.

Drone attacks disrupt Moscow airports as Russia records 545 restrictions in October

Russia recorded 545 flight restrictions in October 2026 as Ukrainian drone attacks continued to interrupt airport operations, with Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport, Vnukovo Airport, Domodedovo Airport, and Zhukovsky Airport among the hardest hit. Across 118 airports nationwide, October saw more than 51,900 flights delayed by at least 15 minutes and more than 7,000 canceled, while Aeroflot provided hotel stays, meal vouchers, and transportation during repeated disruption at Sheremetyevo. For passengers, this has meant recurring waits, changed arrival airports, and unexpected overnight stays. Compensation generally isn't expected for these security-related restrictions, but if you're affected, you can still ask your airline about refunds, rebooking, and care during your wait.

Government system outage delays 44 flights at South Korea’s airports

Morning departures across South Korea were disrupted on 3 November 2026 when the Ministry of Justice's passenger verification system failed, leaving airline check-in counters unable to operate normally and delaying 44 of 201 flights. Airlines were instructed to issue tickets manually at 6:20 am, and the ministry said communication response speeds had recovered by 8:25 am; the delay figures included 36 flights delayed by at least 30 minutes and 8 by at least 60 minutes. If you were affected, compensation is unlikely because the outage was outside airline control, but support may still be available depending on your flight and circumstances.

Chiang Mai International Airport cancels 108 flights and retimes 80 for Yi Peng

Yi Peng festival preparations will affect 188 flights at Chiang Mai International Airport in Thailand from 21 to 28 November 2026, with 108 cancellations and 80 schedule changes already planned. More than 200,000 lanterns are expected within the airport's flight safety zone, prompting restrictions that reduce its effective operating day from roughly 20 hours to about 12 hours. If you're traveling during this period, allow extra time to reach your gate, as flights may be grouped into shorter windows and the terminal could be busier than usual. Compensation is unlikely because the safety restrictions are outside airlines' control, but you can still ask your airline about refunds, rebooking, and any applicable care.

Ryanair, Wizz Air, LOT, and SAS flights searched or diverted after 7 bomb hoaxes

Passengers on 7 Ryanair, Wizz Air, LOT, and Scandinavian Airlines flights faced searches or diversions across Europe on 3 November 2026 after bomb threats that UK officials described as malicious hoaxes. All aircraft landed safely, and no explosives were found, but the response included an evacuation at Warsaw Modlin Airport, inspections at Rome Fiumicino Airport, and temporary closures at both Warsaw airports. Authorities found no evidence of terrorist activity or hostile state involvement, while investigations continued. Compensation is unlikely because the security threats were outside the airlines' control, but affected passengers may still be entitled to refunds, rebooking, and care during their disruption.

Ryanair cuts 5.7 million winter seats as easyJet and Volotea reduce flights

Winter flight options are shrinking across Europe, with Ryanair removing about 5.7 million planned seats, easyJet cutting about 1.1 million, and Loganair reducing capacity by 15.9%. Volotea is also canceling around 700 flights between October and spring, affecting nearly 100,000 passengers, with Bordeaux, Brest, and Lyon among its hardest-hit bases. Higher fuel costs and weaker demand are driving the changes, which affect airports including London Gatwick and Milan Malpensa rather than a single operational incident. If your booking is canceled, refund and rebooking rights still apply on covered EU and UK flights, although compensation generally isn't payable when you receive more than 14 days' notice.

Hainan Airlines cancels flights and cuts frequencies on 13 European routes

November 2026 schedule changes affect 13 Hainan Airlines routes between China and Europe, including cancellations from Shenzhen to Madrid, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Brussels, Vienna, and Budapest. Other services from Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen will run less frequently, while affiliated carriers Beijing Capital Airlines and Tianjin Airlines are also cutting selected European services. These are advance schedule changes, not a same-day disruption or a general suspension of China–Europe flights, so if you're traveling on an affected route, check your reservation with your airline or travel agent and review any connections. Compensation eligibility depends on your specific flight and circumstances; AirHelp's free flight checker can help you check.

Scoot extends Singapore–Jeddah cancellations through 28 February 2027

Passengers booked on Scoot's TR796 and TR797 between Singapore Changi Airport and King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah faced an extended suspension through 28 February 2027 because of the geopolitical situation in the Middle East. Singapore Airlines has also extended cancellations of its Singapore–Dubai services, SQ494 and SQ495, through the same date. If you're affected by Scoot's cancellations, you can request a full refund for the unused portion of your ticket by emailing Scoot for direct bookings or contacting your travel agent or partner airline. Compensation isn't expected, but you can still ask about refunds, rebooking options, and any applicable assistance.

Miami and Fort Lauderdale ground stops as 908 flights disrupted across Florida

Travelers across Florida faced 908 delayed or canceled flights on 2 November 2026, with disruption affecting Miami International Airport, Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport, Melbourne Orlando International Airport, and Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers. Thunderstorms prompted ground stops at Miami and Fort Lauderdale, while Melbourne was listed as closed and Fort Myers faced increasing departure delays. JetBlue had 140 delayed flights at Fort Lauderdale, and American Airlines accounted for 40 cancellations at Miami. Compensation is unlikely for these weather-related U.S. domestic disruptions, but if you're affected, you can still ask your airline about refunds, rebooking, and available care and assistance.

IndiGo engine failure cancels Kolkata–Shillong flight, affecting 67 passengers

An engine failure before takeoff led IndiGo to cancel Kolkata–Shillong flight 6E 7423 on 2 November 2026, disrupting travel for 67 passengers in India. Travelers spent about 2 hours on board before the pilot told them a technical problem had prevented departure, leaving their planned journey canceled. The incident prompted MP P Wilson to call for an impartial review of aircraft airworthiness certificates and surprise DGCA safety inspections, though his allegations of wrongdoing haven't been independently verified. If you were affected, compensation may be available under applicable Indian passenger rules, depending on the circumstances, and you can ask IndiGo about refund, rebooking, and support options.

Akasa Air extends Saudi flight suspensions through November

Passengers traveling between India and Saudi Arabia face continuing cancellations as Akasa Air, Air India, Air India Express, and IndiGo suspend services following attacks on Saudi airports and other infrastructure. Akasa Air's Jeddah suspension runs until 18 November 2026 and its Riyadh suspension until 30 November, while the other carriers' affected services remain suspended until 14 November. Indian consular officials are helping affected travelers, especially Umrah pilgrims, arrange alternatives, and some Saudi-operated flights to India are still running. Compensation is generally unlikely because the security incidents are outside airlines' control, but passengers should ask about refunds, rebooking, and applicable care and assistance.

Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight from Narita delayed nearly 5 hours by spoiler fault

Flight BG377, operated by Biman Bangladesh Airlines, left Narita International Airport for Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka 4 hours and 55 minutes behind schedule on 29 October 2026. The Boeing 787-9 carrying Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, Dr Zubaida Rahman, and their delegation developed a spoiler-system fault while taxiing, despite no defects being identified during pre-flight checks. Engineers deactivated the affected spoiler before the aircraft departed at 7:55 pm Bangladesh time, on the first day of Biman’s additional Thursday service. European and UK flight compensation rules don’t cover this route, but passengers can ask Biman about applicable care, refund, and rebooking options.

Ryanair warns of UK flight delays as heavy fog reduces visibility

Heavy fog disrupted some Ryanair services to and from the United Kingdom on 1 November 2026, with passengers advised to check the airline's app for updates and direct notifications. A Met Office yellow warning covered areas including Bristol, London, Birmingham, Nottingham, Hull, Norwich, and Brighton, with visibility potentially falling below 100 meters. Although the warning lasted until 10:00 am, fog patches could linger into the afternoon and also affect journeys to the airport by road or public transportation. Compensation is generally unlikely for these weather-related delays, but you may still be entitled to care and assistance while you wait.

Emirates and Etihad cancel Saudi flights as delays affect UAE airports

Passengers traveling through Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah faced cancellations and delays on 2 November 2026, with Saudi Arabia routes particularly affected by regional tensions and airspace restrictions. Etihad Airways has canceled all Abu Dhabi flights to Dammam, Jeddah, and Riyadh through 5 November, while Emirates, flydubai, and Air Arabia have also canceled services. Dubai International Airport, Al Maktoum International Airport, and Zayed International Airport experienced disruption, although some delays may have operational or technical causes rather than security-related ones. If you're affected, check directly with your airline before traveling: compensation is unlikely for security-related cancellations, but refunds, rebooking, and care may still be available under the rules covering your journey.
