Finnair flights between Helsinki and Dubai have been cancelled between 25 October 2026 and 27 March 2027 due to the unstable situation in the Middle East.

We’re sorry for the change to your travel plans.

Finnair continuously monitors the security situation in different regions and, when necessary, make changes to flight routes or operations. The security situation in the Middle East has remained unstable, with no clear signs of improvement. 

How do I know if my flight is disrupted?

If there are changes to your journey, we will contact you personally via SMS and/or email. Please go to Manage booking and check that we have your current contact details. You can find your flight details in Manage booking and Finnair app. 

Your options if your flight is cancelled

If your flight is cancelled, these are your options: 

• Rebooking: As soon as the flight has been cancelled, we start working on your new travel plan, and you’ll receive an email and/or SMS, when we have booked you the best available alternative flight(s). You can see your new travel plan also in Manage booking. Please note that the availability of alternative flights may be limited, so rebooking could take longer than usual. 
• Change your journey: You can find another flight and change your travel date within +/-14 days of the original date via Manage booking. You can make changes to your journey once, free of charge. Please note, that the availability of alternative flights is very limited at the moment. For tickets purchased through other service providers than Finnair, such as a travel agency, please contact the ticket issuer directly. 
• Cancel your journey: If you wish to cancel your entire journey or all flights in your booking have been cancelled, you can apply for a refund in Manage booking. To keep some flights and refund only part of your booking, please contact our customer service or the ticket issuer. 
• Travel extras: Due to the flight change, we unfortunately might not be able to confirm some of the pre-ordered travel extras, such as meals or pet transportation, to your new flights. You can check your confirmed services in Manage booking and rebooking email. If you do not receive travel extras purchased from Finnair, you can apply for a refund.
