Lebanon was on alert on Tuesday after the Golan attack over the weekend. Tel Aviv blamed Hezbollah for the attack on the soccer field in the Israel-controlled Golan Heights. Hezbollah denied any involvement in the attack.
Flydubai was previously operating three flights a day to accommodate the busy summer travel period.
Many countries around the world have asked the two parties to reduce tension and avoid conflict. Foreign missions in Lebanon are hurrying to pull out their staff from the Arab country.
Many other airlines have also cancelled or delayed their flights to Beirut. Lebanon’s Middle East Airlines, Lufthansa and Swiss International Airlines, Eurowing's flights have been impacted so far.
Flydubai has advised passengers to regularly check their flight status.
