The General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has announced the full resumption of air navigation operations across the UAE, bringing an end to a period of restrictions that had been placed on the country’s airspace.
The GCAA said the decision to lift the measures followed “a comprehensive evaluation of operational and security conditions” carried out in coordination with relevant authorities.
The authority did not specify the nature of the events that led to the introduction of the restrictions, describing them only as “precautionary.” The lifting of the measures follows the conclusion of an evaluation process involving coordination across multiple agencies and authorities.
