The General Civil Aviation Authority of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced a decision to temporarily and partially close the country's airspace.
According to Operative Information Center-OMM, this measure is an exceptional precautionary step taken to ensure the safety and security of civil aviation operations. Officials emphasized that flight safety remains a top priority and all necessary steps are being taken in response to the current situation.
No official statement has been released regarding further details or a specific timeline for when the restrictions will be lifted. The UAE serves as a critical global aviation hub, housing major international carriers and some of the world's busiest airports, including Dubai International Airport. Such measures are typically implemented in response to regional security developments or technical safety requirements to protect passenger traffic and aircraft integrity.
