Previously, flights to and from Iran were cancelled until October 8, and subsequently extended to October 16.
On the other hand, Emirates' flights to and from Lebanon remain cancelled up to and including October 31.
The cancellations come amid fears of Israeli retaliation after Iran's missile attack on Israel last Tuesday. Iran has vowed a stronger response if its infrastructure is attacked.
The carrier also banned pagers and walkie talkies on flights to, from, or via Dubai. This includes prohibition of these devices in check-in or cabin baggage.
