The Middle East aviation sector has begun stabilising after a brief but significant disruption, with Emirates confirming that it has resumed flight operations following a temporary suspension triggered by security concerns in the region. The airline, one of the world’s largest international carriers, restarted services from Dubai International Airport after authorities cleared the airspace and airport infrastructure for safe operations.
Early Monday morning, the Dubai Media Office had reported a drone incident in the vicinity of Dubai International Airport, the world’s busiest airport for international passengers. According to the DMO, the incident impacted one of the airport’s fuel tanks. Emergency response teams from Dubai Civil Defence quickly moved to the site and successfully contained the fire that broke out following the impact near the fuel storage area. Authorities confirmed that no injuries were reported, the Dubai Media Office said in its update.
