The United Arab Emirates said it will resume “limited” flights at Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports, cancelled after Iran began striking targets in the Gulf -- including the cities’ airports.
“Dubai Airports announces a limited resumption of flights from Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Dubai World Central - Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) starting this evening, Monday, March 2, 2026,” it said in a statement.
Abu Dhabi airports also said “operations partially resumed” on Monday. Emirates and low-cost carrier flydubai both said they would resume some flights Monday evening.
Since Iran launched its campaign on Saturday, Dub a i , A b u D h a b i , K u w a i t and Manama airports were targeted.
Authorities reported one death in the Emirati capital Abu Dhabi in the “incident” at the facility.
On Saturday, the UAE announced it had closed its airspace “temporarily and partially” as an exceptional precautionary measure.
The airspace closures hit a vital sector for the city, with Dubai’s air industry accounting for about a third of the emirate’s economy.
