Flights back to normal after Dubai airport crash



DUBAI // All flights to and from Dubai International Airport are back to their regular schedules, according to its parent company.

“Dubai Airports confirms that it has lifted all remaining capacity restrictions at DXB and the airport is back to normal operation,” it said yesterday.

Flights had been cancelled, diverted or delayed since Emirates EK521 crashed there on Wednesday afternoon. By prioritising large aircraft, Dubai Airports said it was able to “return to regular scheduled activity sooner than anticipated”.

“We continue to work with our airline partners and stakeholders in order to ensure that the few remaining passengers affected by the disruption reach their ultimate destination as soon possible.”

Lt Gen Erik Petersen, deputy chief of programs, US Army, has argued it took a+“three decade holiday” on modernising tanks. 

“There clearly remains a significant armoured heavy ground manoeuvre threat in this world and maintaining a world class armoured force is absolutely vital,” the general said in London last week.

“We are developing next generation capabilities to compete with and deter adversaries to prevent opportunism or miscalculation, and, if necessary, defeat any foe decisively.”
