Dubai Airports adjusts ops amid regional airspace curbs

Key Takeaways:

  • Dubai suspends all inbound and outbound flights at DXB and DWC.
  • Claims of Burj Khalifa evacuation remain unverified; no confirmation from Emaar.
  • Prior emergency images were debunked; smoke attributed to low cloud.
Why DXB and DWC operations shifted as Burj Khalifa reports spread

Dubai suspended all inbound and outbound flight operations at Dubai International (DXB) and Al Maktoum International (DWC), as reported by Economic Times. Online claims that the Burj Khalifa was evacuated remain unverified at this time.

Claim: the worldโ€™s tallest tower was evacuated. Evidence: no confirmation from Emaar Properties, which owns the building, has been issued. Verdict: the Burj Khalifa evacuation rumor remains unconfirmed.

Sensitivity to false alarms is warranted; earlier emergency imagery around the tower was debunked, as reported by The National. Responders attributed smoke-like visuals to low cloud and confirmed no evacuation at that time.

At DXB and DWC, both departures and arrivals are halted, with regional airspace closures cited as a driver, as reported by Gulf News. Network disruption is expected to include diversions and cancellations.

Emirates and flydubai each suspended services to and from Dubai while the situation develops, per the same report. Timings and routings were under review.

In a formal update issued through Dubaiโ€™s communications authority, officials clarified the scope and duration language. โ€œAll flight operations at DXB and DWC are suspended until further notice,โ€ said the Dubai Media Office.

The update advised passengers not to travel to the terminals and to seek schedule information via their carriers.
