DUBAI, May 2 – The United Arab Emirates' (UAE) aviation authority announced on Saturday that air traffic within the country has normalized. This follows the lifting of precautionary measures that were implemented on February 28 at the onset of the Iran war.
The General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) stated that the decision to revert to normal operations was made after a comprehensive assessment of both operational and security conditions. This evaluation was conducted in coordination with relevant entities to ensure safety and efficiency.
The initial restrictions were a direct response to regional geopolitical developments, specifically the commencement of the Iran war. The lifting of these measures indicates a perceived stabilization of the security environment affecting UAE airspace.
