A few reports have emerged stating that all Emirati airports have joined Germany and the U.K. in refusing to refuel any Iranian passenger aircraft.
This is a part of the recent U.S. sanctions package against Iran. It highlights (if it needed to be highlighted) Abu Dhabi’s control over U.A.E. policy to the detriment of Iran-friendly Dubai.
UPDATE
Somewhat unsurprisingly a raft of reports have emerged this morning stating that Iranian planes are in fact being refueled in the U.A.E.
