On March 3, Russian tourists who returned from Dubai to Novosibirsk shared with Izvestia their worries about the postponement of flights amid the worsening situation in the Middle East.

"Nothing reached us. There were several pieces of glass, but as far as I know, no one was injured. But it was very exciting," said Yana Shishova.

Maria Zhdanova reported that the flight was calm, and expressed gratitude to the crew.

And the first travelers who were stuck on vacation flew from Abu Dhabi to Moscow.

On March 2, more than 300 Russian tourists stranded in Azerbaijan asked to be sent to Russia instead of Dubai due to the escalation of the situation in the Middle East.

The airports of Dubai, the largest city in the UAE, have suspended their operations indefinitely due to the escalation of the conflict between Israel, the United States and Iran. Because of this, thousands of Russians remained abroad, in particular in the United Arab Emirates. However, on March 2, the Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi sent the first plane since the beginning of the day.

All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
