At least in December there were still loads of them flying in the UAE.
Forbidden now? Or what do you mean?

Correct.

They're too old and out-phased even by antonov. They're not updating aircraft bulletins and stuff anymore, plus the recent incidents with that particular a/c type made local authorities pull the HALAS on them.

I kinda like it.

As of 8th Jan all AN12s were banned UFN within the UAE due to an incident at SHJ
That's about as much as we know at present
