When flight cancellations and sudden airspace closures left thousands of travellers stranded across the UAE, a number of property developers and holiday home operators stepped in with an unexpected solution, free or heavily discounted accommodation for those unable to return home.
Several companies across the country opened their apartments to visitors caught in the disruption, offering short-term relief at a time when hotel prices were surging and flights remained uncertain. The initiative, as per Khaleej Times, saw developers, rental platforms and holiday home operators mobilise quickly to support stranded travellers.
