From Dubai to Anywhere—It's Now a Pricier Ride
If your summer travel plans suddenly feel too expensive, you're not alone. Airline ticket prices from the UAE to popular destinations have jumped significantly since June 13, as escalating tensions between Israel and Iran force carriers to reroute flights, adding time and fuel costs. Destinations in Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America are seeing increases of 15% to 60%, according to fare trackers like Google Flights and Skyscanner. These price hikes are directly tied to airspace restrictions over the conflict zone and rising demand during peak travel season. UAE to India: Summer ritual gets pricey For many Indian expats in the UAE, flying home during summer is a yearly routine. But this year, fares to Mumbai and Delhi have seen a steep surge. One-way tickets that typically cost Dh380 to Dh440 are now reaching Dh800, depending on the airline and date—marking a 50–60% increase. For families, the price gap adds up fast. US routes rerouted, fares soar Flights from the UAE to major US cities like New York and Chicago have also become more expensive. Tickets to New York now average Dh1,210 to Dh1,325, compared to Dh1,030 before June 13. Round-trip fares are crossing Dh2,475, up 15–20%, as airlines take longer routes to avoid Iranian airspace. Africa-bound flights not spared Flights to Nairobi are also affected. One-way tickets have jumped from Dh550 to Dh750, while round-trip prices are now hovering around Dh1,195, up 25% in just a week. Some carriers are adding stopovers to safely navigate around restricted zones, leading to longer travel times and higher costs. Europe, Israel routes feel ripple effects Even European destinations not directly over the conflict area are seeing price increases. Flights to Frankfurt, for example, have gone from Dh750 to Dh950 —a 25% rise —due to congestion on alternate routes. As for Israel, direct flights from Dubai to Tel Aviv have become more expensive and less available. Fares are now around Dh1,080, up 70%, with fewer daily departures and longer layovers. Why flight prices are rising fast With portions of Iranian and Israeli airspace restricted, airlines are rerouting over longer paths—through the Gulf, Central Asia, or Northern Africa. This means longer flight times, higher fuel usage, and fewer available aircraft, all of which drive prices up. The summer travel rush is making it worse. What UAE travelers can do If you're planning to fly soon, book early and track fare trends through platforms like Google Flights or Skyscanner. Try to travel midweek or during off-peak hours for possible savings. Also, consider flexible or refundable options, as more changes in flight paths or schedules may occur if regional tensions escalate. Bottom line

Norway's government explores crypto mining ban amid energy supply concerns
The government of Norway is considering a temporary ban on crypto mining in the country in an effort to 'free up power, network capacity and area for other purposes.' In a Friday notice, the Norwegian government said it would be conducting an investigation in autumn that could result in a temporary ban on crypto mining data centers. Officials said they had the authority to enforce such a ban under Norway's Planning and Building Act, which includes provisions on allocating energy. 'It is uncertain how big a problem crypto mining will become in Norway in the future,' the notice reads. 'The registration requirement in the new data center regulations will provide increased knowledge about the scope of data centers that mine cryptocurrency.' Like many countries in Europe, Norway's residents have faced increasing costs on electricity amid Russia's war with Ukraine and sanctions impacting the region's supply of oil and gas. Locals in Norway have previously petitioned for crypto mining operations to shut down over noise concerns. Mining bans proposed in response to environmental concerns, noise Norway would not be the first country to consider a ban on cryptocurrency mining. In January, Russia began imposing a ban in 10 regions as part of efforts to limit blackouts and reduce energy consumption. China, which had been one of the most significant sources of crypto mining before 2021, faced a blanket ban, which drove many operations to US states like Texas. Though lawmakers in the US government have spoken out against mining due to concerns over energy use, the practice is still legal in most jurisdictions and states, making the country one of the biggest contributors to the global Bitcoin hashrate.
