Dubai resumes limited flights after airspace closure due to regional conflict

Dubai's airports resumed limited flight operations after a major disruption caused by the closure of regional airspace. Emirates and Etihad airlines had suspended most flights, stranding passengers and cargo, including gold shipments that were reportedly sold at a discount.

During the closure, the UAE closed its stock markets for two days. Government officials stated that private sector operations at ports and elsewhere were not disrupted, even as some international shipping companies paused bookings. The airspace closure followed regional military actions.
