Rebooking Of Flights Begins

With the situation escalating a bit after Tuesday, UAE residents are already making plans to reclaim their summer. After all, they are waiting to take a much-needed vacation once the flights recommence. This marks a significant shift in the psyche of travellers who were previously worried due to airspace closures and widespread flight disruptions. As a result, many travel agents are already reporting rebooking flights.

Although the airspace restrictions have been somewhat lifted over Israel and Iran, commercial flights are gradually resuming. This comes after a 12-day closure. But it should be noted that travel is still subject to increased caution.
