Flight operations across the United Arab Emirates have resumed normal status following the removal of security restrictions that were put in place earlier this year, according to an announcement from aviation officials on Saturday.<\/p>

According to the aviation authority, the decision to return to regular operations came after officials conducted a thorough review of both operational capabilities and security circumstances, working alongside other government agencies to ensure safe conditions for air travel.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
