The UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority has announced its operational plans to contain the repercussions of regional developments, stressing that air traffic continues to be managed in an organized and flexible manner despite successive changes to flight schedules.
The Authority explained that the country's airports and UAE airlines dealt over the past hours with about 20,200 passengers affected by the rescheduling of some flights, providing temporary accommodation, meals and drinks, along with facilitating rebooking procedures according to approved plans, according to the Emirates News Agency (WAM).
The Authority stressed that the state is bearing all hosting and subsistence costs for affected and stranded passengers, as part of ensuring the continuity of essential services and reducing the operational impact.
The measures included redirecting some flights between the country's airports, speeding up rescheduling operations and strengthening field coordination inside passenger terminals to deal with any possible congestion. The Authority renewed its call for travelers to follow updates via official channels and contact airlines directly for the latest on their flights.
