Civilian Aircraft Struck at Dubai Airport Amid Iran War Threat
•Two civilian aircraft, an Emirates A380 and a Saudia A321, were struck at Dubai International Airport early in the Iran war.
•At least five aircraft parked at Middle East airports have sustained damage from Iranian attacks, including three private jets near Ben Gurion Airport.
•The UAE faces over double the drone and missile incursions compared to other nations, with only minutes to respond to threats.
•Despite risks, Emirati airlines are restoring schedules; Emirates operates 300 daily flights, 60% of pre-war capacity.
•UAE implemented flight corridors, rapid diversion protocols, and deployed jet fighters to mitigate risks, but experts warn of catastrophe.
