UAE says air traffic back to normal after precautionary measures lifted
The civil aviation authority said all precautionary steps were withdrawn after a security review, and more than 11,000 regional flights were canceled during the conflict, Cirium said.
- On Saturday, the United Arab Emirates resumed normal air traffic operations after lifting precautionary measures that had been in place since February 28.
- Restrictions were originally imposed on February 28 following the start of the US-Israeli conflict with Iran, which disrupted regional airspace and prompted safety measures.
- The GCAA confirmed the decision followed comprehensive assessment of security conditions, stating, "Following a comprehensive evaluation of operational and security conditions, we have officially lifted the temporary precautionary measures previously in place."
- Neighboring nations including Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, and Syria had previously lifted similar restrictions after the United States and Iran agreed to a ceasefire, easing regional travel disruptions.
- While the truce remains in effect, the GCAA will continue real-time monitoring to ensure the highest levels of aviation safety for all travelers in the region.
