Dubai Airports scaling up operations as UAE airspace restored, CEO says

Dubai Airports CEO Paul Griffiths said that with the United Arab Emirates’ airspace now fully clear, operations and flights are being scaled up in line with routing capacity, Reuters reports.

Despite disruption from the Iran war since the end of February 28, Dubai International and Al Maktoum International airports have still supported more than 6 million passengers, over 32,000 aircraft movements, and more than 213,000 tonnes of cargo, with demand for travel through Dubai remaining strong, Griffiths added in a LinkedIn post.
