The UAE's General Aviation Authority (GCAA) has announced the suspension of all flight permits for gliders, drones and recreational aircraft for a week, as part of efforts to ensure public safety and protect national airspace.
During the suspension period, the operation, launch, or flight of the listed aircraft will be strictly prohibited.
The authority said it will review the situation at the end of a week and determine whether to resume operations or extend the suspension.
The GCAA emphasises that full compliance with this directive is mandatory and violators will face legal action.
