UAE Implements Business Continuity Plan to Ease Airport Traffic

The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Ports Security has emphasized undertaking all necessary procedures to ensure the continuous operation of airports across the UAE. This includes collaboration with various operational entities to address the repercussions of recent regional and political developments that have led to the closure of airspace in some countries, ensuring seamless passenger movement without compromising service quality.
The authority stated that it has activated its emergency-approved business continuity plan at the onset of these events to guarantee operational flexibility and mitigate their potential impact on air travel following some nations’ decisions to close their skies to air traffic. The plan encompasses precise operational and organizational measures executed in coordination with strategic partners.
The authority highlighted that ground teams at UAE airports have been reinforced with qualified personnel and high operational capabilities around the clock. This ensures the highest levels of readiness and immediate response to any developments, along with coordination with all relevant operational entities to assist passengers stranded at airports, ensuring they receive necessary support in terms of temporary accommodation, logistics, and accurate information.
The authority also mentioned that an organized mechanism for passenger entry into the country's airports is being implemented in line with the operational status. Direct guidance to travelers is provided through support teams regarding flight rescheduling in immediate coordination with the airlines operating in the UAE.
The authority commended the cooperation demonstrated by travelers and their understanding of the exceptional circumstances affecting the region. It affirmed its continuous commitment to taking all necessary measures to ensure the safety and security of all passengers under all conditions and emergencies. This is part of the UAE's authentic values and proactive service standards, crisis, and emergency management plans, aimed at maintaining service fluidity for travelers on both outbound and inbound flights according to the highest global standards and practices.
