US EditionDubai Airport Partially Reopens Following Iranian Drone Attack
Dubai International Airport resumed limited flights hours after a suspension caused by debris from intercepted Iranian missiles, affecting thousands of passengers, officials said.
- On Saturday, DXB partially reopened after an aerial interception, with the Dubai government describing a minor incident caused by debris and no injuries.
- The Emirati Ministry of Defence said air defences were responding to missile and drone threats from Iran, with attacks hitting Abu Dhabi airport, Palm Jumeirah, Burj Al Arab, and causing a fire at the US consulate in Dubai.
- Flightradar24 tracked planes circling in holding patterns while passengers at Dubai International were directed into train tunnels and Emirates suspended all flights, with Dubai Airports saying the situation was controlled.
- All Dubai city check-in points are temporarily closed and customers booked between February 28 and Mar 31 can rebook or request refunds; passengers are advised not to travel unless contacted, Dubai Airports said.
- Wider US–Israel–Iran hostilities have widened the conflict across the Gulf, killing at least 1,230 people in Iran and pushing benchmark US crude above 90 dollars on Friday.
