AMID THE ESCALATING war in West Asia, Dubai International Airport has announced a temporary closure and suspension of all flight operations for all foreign airlines.

- YARUQHULLAH KHAN

Dubai's General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has temporarily suspended all incoming flights from around the world to the country, citing escalating regional security concerns.

The decision follows an incident where a fuel tank ignited near the airport as a result of drone debris falling in the area, although the fire has since been contained. Airport authorities are implementing this closure as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of all passengers and personnel.
