Emirates has announced that limited flights are expected to operate after 10:00 am on Monday.

In an official statement on its website, the airline added that some flights were cancelled, with affected customers to be contacted for a cancellation notice and advised on re-accommodation options.

The airline apologised for the inconvenience caused.

The announcement follows the suspension of all flights at DXB earlier on Monday due to a drone incident that impacted a fuel tank near the airport, leading to a fire.

The fire has been contained by Dubai civil forces, with no injuries reported at the site.
