"Both airports were forced to ground all flights on Saturday 28 February, when the UAE closed its airspace after the US and Israel launched an attack on Iran, resulting in several retaliatory strikes at countries across the Gulf, including the UAE."
"Emirates will begin operating a limited number of flights from the evening of March 2. Priority is being given to passengers with earlier bookings."
"Travellers are still being advised not to proceed to either DXB or DWC unless they have been contacted directly by their airline with a pre-confirmed departure time."
Dubai International and Dubai World Central airports closed all operations on February 28 after the UAE airspace was shut down following US and Israeli military action against Iran and subsequent retaliatory strikes in the Gulf region. The closure stranded thousands of passengers, prompting authorities to arrange temporary accommodation. After more than 48 hours, limited flights began resuming on March 2 evening, with airlines like Emirates prioritizing passengers with earlier bookings. Regular flight operations remained suspended until at least March 3 at 3pm. Passengers were advised to contact airlines directly for updates and avoid traveling to airports without confirmed departure times from their carriers.
