In a statement carried by the UAE’s state media, the authority said “exceptional flight operations” would begin in coordination with airlines, which will directly inform affected passengers of updated schedules and destinations.

Travellers whose flights were cancelled have been advised not to go to airports until they receive confirmed departure details from their airlines.

The authority warned that arriving without confirmation could cause congestion and disrupt operations.

The GCAA thanked passengers for their cooperation and said compliance with instructions was essential to ensure orderly and smooth travel procedures.
