Airports in the United Arab Emirates have facilitated more than 1,140 flights over the past 84 hours to support travellers affected by regional aviation disruptions.
According to the state-owned operator Dubai Airports, the flights were managed through Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport.
Between Monday and Thursday, more than 500 flights departed from the two airports, offering approximately 105,000 outbound seats to passengers travelling to over 80 countries. Authorities said the number of flights continues to increase daily.
Dubai Airports stated that additional services are being added to the schedule and advised passengers to check the latest flight information directly with their respective airlines.
The surge in operations comes after airspace across several parts of the Middle East was restricted following strikes by the United States and Israel on Iran, which triggered retaliatory actions and widespread aviation precautionary measures.
The UAE has reportedly implemented partial airspace closures as a safety precaution amid the escalating regional tensions.
