Major hubs including Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport are currently operating with limited flight schedules as airlines work to restore normal services.
Authorities confirmed that airport access remains restricted to passengers holding confirmed flight bookings. Travelers are strongly advised not to visit the airport unless their airline has specifically instructed them to do so.
Other key aviation hubs such as Zayed International Airport and Sharjah International Airport are also operating with reduced schedules, while airlines continue to monitor the situation closely.

Major UAE carriers including Emirates, flydubai, and Etihad Airways have urged passengers to regularly check their flight status before heading to the airport.
Airlines have activated customer support channels to assist affected passengers with flight updates, rebooking options, and refunds where applicable.

Passengers impacted by the disruptions may be eligible for the following options:
- Free Rebooking: Travelers can change their travel dates without additional fees, subject to availability.
- Full Refunds: Passengers whose flights were cancelled may request a full refund depending on ticket conditions.
