The partial resumption follows widespread flight suspensions triggered by rising geopolitical tensions in the region, which forced airlines to cancel or reroute services and left major Gulf airports functioning under emergency protocols.Airport authorities confirmed that restricted operations at Zayed International Airport have restarted in coordination with the Abu Dhabi Emergencies, Crises and Disasters Management Centre. The carefully managed reopening comes after days of close coordination between aviation authorities, airlines and government agencies aimed at ensuring passenger safety and operational preparedness.During the disruption, Abu Dhabi authorities rolled out extensive support measures for travellers affected by cancellations and delays. More than 7,000 passengers were provided accommodation in over 4,300 complimentary hotel rooms across 74 hotels throughout the emirate while they waited for flights to resume.Despite the restart, the airport has not yet returned to normal commercial operations. Only a limited number of flights — including repositioning, cargo and repatriation services — are currently permitted under strict aviation supervision. Across the region, airlines have resumed only select flights after major disruptions linked to tensions involving Iran, the United States and Israel, which led several countries to close their airspace.Some Gulf carriers have begun operating restricted services mainly focused on repatriation and essential travel, while regular passenger flights remain partially suspended. The gradual reopening of airports across the United Arab Emirates, including those in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, is part of a coordinated effort to stabilise regional aviation networks.Authorities have advised travellers not to head to the airport without confirmation from their airline. Passengers with confirmed bookings are urged to contact their airline for the latest updates on schedules and departure timings before travelling to the airport. With the security situation still evolving, flight schedules may change at short notice depending on airspace availability and safety conditions.
