Flights at major UAE airports have begun to partially resume after a temporary shutdown caused by regional airspace closures linked to escalating tensions in the Middle East. Authorities confirmed that limited operations restarted, with a small number of flights departing from Dubai’s main airports and Abu Dhabi’s Zayed International Airport.
Officials stressed that this is not a full return to normal schedules. Travellers are strongly advised not to go to the airport unless they have received direct confirmation of their flight status. Entry may be restricted without verified bookings, and schedules remain subject to sudden changes.
The phased resumption is primarily aimed at assisting stranded passengers and operating select confirmed departures. Aviation authorities continue to monitor the situation closely and coordinate flight movements based on safety assessments.
Passengers are urged to check directly with their airline for the latest updates before making travel plans, as further adjustments may occur depending on regional developments.
