A spokesman for flydubai said the carrier was aware of the Federal Aviation Administration's notice.

The spokesman said in a statement that the company modified some of the current routes in the region as a precautionary measure, noting that it monitors the situation and make changes when necessary.

The US Federal Aviation Administration issued an emergency order today prohibiting American airlines from flying over an Iranian-controlled airspace over the Straits of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman amid growing tensions.
