UAE lifts all air-traffic restrictions imposed during the Iran conflict

The UAE’s civil-aviation regulator has fully reopened the country’s airspace, scrapping all restrictions put in place after the late-February Iran conflict. Airlines are restoring pre-crisis schedules, war-risk insurance surcharges are falling and logistical costs for companies operating via Dubai and Abu Dhabi are set to drop sharply. The change re-establishes the Emirates as the Gulf’s primary transit hub and removes force-majeure protections that had temporarily covered visa overstays.
