It’s worth mentioning that just seven days prior, the Aviation Authority declared their return to routine functioning.

The United Arab Emirates has enacted a partial airspace closure. The prior day, for the initial time following the commencement of the truce, Iran launched rockets and unmanned aerial vehicles in the direction of the nation.
This is being reported by CNN and Bloomberg.
According to the formal NOTAM, authorities in the Emirates have implemented a restricted flight prohibition, slated to remain in effect for a minimum of one week – until the 11th of May. It’s highlighted that aircraft are limited to specific aerial pathways, and particular flow control protocols have been enacted for inbound flights.
The situation has altered considerably compared to the preceding week, when the Civil Aviation Administration communicated the comprehensive removal of limitations and a reversion to standard operations.
Flightradar24 data reveals noteworthy disruptions to the scheduling of international airports. Numerous aircraft destined for Dubai and adjacent emirates have been compelled to remain circling in holding patterns outside the national boundary. Additionally, several of the airplanes executed an unscheduled landing in Muscat, Oman.
As a reminder, on the afternoon of May 4, the UAE experienced another missile incursion from Iran. Abu Dhabi stated that their air defenses successfully intercepted 19 missiles and drones. The neutralization of targets occurred across various regions of the country.
Worth noting is that yesterday's aggression represented the first in numerous weeks — subsequent to the ceasefire’s commencement on April 7. At that point, US President Donald Trump proclaimed that hostilities with Iran, initiated on February 28, had been temporarily suspended.
