The UAE has stepped in to fully cover the costs of thousands of passengers stranded by sudden regional airspace closures, as flight disruptions rippled across the Middle East.
The General Civil Aviation Authority confirmed that accommodation, meals, refreshments, and flight rebooking expenses are being paid by the state for all affected travelers. Around 20,200 passengers were impacted over recent hours as flights were cancelled, rerouted, or rescheduled due to the evolving security situation.
UAE airports and national carriers are working jointly to stabilise operations, with flights being rerouted between UAE hubs, rescheduling accelerated, and terminal coordination intensified to manage congestion. Transit passengers have been transported directly to temporary accommodation, with no out of pocket costs incurred.
Support has extended beyond airlines and airports. Several vacation rental companies in Dubai have reportedly offered free stays to stranded tourists as the disruption continues.
Authorities say airports remain under adjusted operations while regional conditions develop, with passenger welfare prioritised throughout the response.
