Dubai airport, the world’s busiest for international traffic, suspended operations Saturday before partially resuming services, after an air defense interception in the area during attacks from Iran. “We have partially resumed operations from today, 7 March, with some flights operating out of DXB and DWC,” it said, referring to Dubai’s main airport as well as the city’s Dubai World Central – Al Maktoum International. “For the safety of passengers, airport staff, and airline crew, operations at Dubai International (DXB) have been temporarily suspended,” the government’s Dubai Media Office said in a social media post. Flights from Dubai’s main airport had partially resumed on Monday despite daily drone attacks targeting sites in the United Arab Emirates. Operator Dubai Airports said at the time that the incident had been “quickly brought under control,” without providing details.
