The UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) has announced the full resumption of normal air navigation operations within UAE airspace and the lifting of temporary precautionary measures.

The decision was taken after a comprehensive evaluation of operational and security conditions and in coordination with relevant authorities. Continuous real-time monitoring remains in place to ensure the highest levels of aviation safety.

The Authority expressed its appreciation for the cooperation of passengers and airlines throughout the precautionary period and confirmed the readiness of its technical and operational teams to respond to any emerging developments.

According to the statement, the public is advised to continue obtaining information from official sources.

Recently, GCAA issued a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) to Emirates Engineering, making it the first UAE-based entity to receive this certification, marking a major advancement in the nation’s aviation regulatory capabilities.

Through this, the GCAA becomes one of the very few aviation authorities worldwide authorized to issue Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs). This advanced airworthiness function allows for the certification of modifications to aircraft, systems, and components, ensuring compliance with international safety standards.

In March, GCAA announced the commencement of exceptional flight operations across UAE airports to facilitate the departure of passengers stranded due to recent regional developments.

The regulator stated that the special operations will be conducted in accordance with flight schedules communicated directly by airlines to affected passengers and relevant destinations. The move follows temporary suspensions and widespread disruptions across regional airspace over the past few days.
