Dubai International Airport (DXB) remained open and operational on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, processing a reduced schedule of arrivals and departures amid ongoing regional security challenges and the aftermath of a drone-related incident that briefly halted flights the previous day.
Flight tracking services reported very low and decreasing delays at the world's busiest international hub as of midday, with many scheduled services in Terminal 1, 2 and 3 proceeding, though overall capacity stayed well below normal levels due to airspace restrictions and airline suspensions. Real-time data showed flights such as Emirates EK328 to Shenzhen and flydubai FZ307 to Kabul operating or preparing for departure, with status updates confirming gate closures and final calls on time for several routes.
