The UAE has confirmed that normal air traffic operations have been fully restored across the country’s airspace, according to the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA).
In an announcement issued on 2 May, the authority said all temporary precautionary measures have been lifted, following a comprehensive review of operational and security conditions.
The GCAA stated that the decision was made in coordination with relevant national authorities, ensuring that flight safety and air navigation standards remain fully maintained.
The restoration follows earlier disruptions to UAE airspace amid heightened regional tensions, during which authorities implemented temporary measures to safeguard passengers, crew and infrastructure.
According to official data, the UAE’s aviation system handled more than 1.4 million passengers between 1 and 12 March, even as operations were being gradually restored.
Airlines and airports across the UAE are now operating as normal, with schedules returning to full capacity at major hubs including Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Authorities have advised passengers to continue checking updates through official airline and government channels, while reaffirming that safety remains the top priority for the country’s aviation sector.
The UAE is one of the region’s busiest aviation hubs, and the resumption of full operations is expected to support both tourism and business travel in the coming weeks.
