Emirates airline on Sunday said it would stop flying to Tunisia after authorities in the North African country asked the Dubai-based carrier to stop the service.
The airline said in a tweet that it would stop Dubai-Tunis service from today (December 25) until further notice.
“Emirates will stop services between Tunis and Dubai, as instructed by the Tunisian authorities, with effect from December 25, 2017,” reads the tweet.

The Dubai carrier, however, didn’t disclose the reason behind the Tunisian authorities decision.
The UAE’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash said on Sunday that the officials from the UAE met authorities in Tunisia to discuss certain “security information.”
“We have met with the brothers in Tunisia for security information as they have imposed specific and circumstantial measures. In the UAE, we are proud of our experience in empowering women; we appreciate Tunisian women, respect them and value their pioneering experience,” Gargash said in the tweet.
Tunisian media had reported that some Tunisian women were barred from boarding flights to Dubai.
