The Dubai Civil Aviation Authority stated that the flight suspension is precautionary, aimed at ensuring the safety of passengers and staff. The fire has been brought under control, according to authorities, and no injuries have been reported. The temporary suspension of flights significantly impacts air traffic in the region, as Dubai Airport is one of the busiest international air transport hubs. Authorities have not provided further details regarding the "drone-related incident," but the announcement suggests that the use of drones in the airport area may have contributed to the fire.

The return to normal airport operations will depend on the completion of investigations and the restoration of damage caused by the fire. Travelers are advised to contact their airlines for information about their flights.
