Dubai Airport Closed — All Operations Suspended

Developing Story|Last Updated: April 29, 2026 at 02:19 AM UTC

Dubai International Airport (DXB), the world's busiest airport for international passengers, and Dubai World Central (DWC) have both suspended all flight operations following Iranian ballistic missile strikes on UAE territory. The closure affects approximately 260,000 passengers who transit through DXB daily. Emirates has grounded its entire fleet of over 250 aircraft.

Thousands of passengers are stranded at both airports with no confirmed reopening timeline. Airport authorities have opened emergency accommodation in terminals and are providing food and water. Airlines are waiving change fees and offering full refunds for all affected bookings. The Dubai Airports crisis hotline is operational at +971-4-224-5555.

The closure extends to cargo operations, disrupting global supply chains. DXB handles approximately 2.6 million tonnes of cargo annually. Logistics companies are rerouting shipments through alternative hubs including Muscat, Riyadh, and Mumbai.
