Due to a stray drone flying near Dubai International Airport, this busiest airport in the world had to be closed for almost an hour and a half, officials announced today.
On its Twitter account, the airport announced that it closed its airspace from 7:25 a.m. to 8.49:XNUMX a.m. local time, AP reports.
The announcement emphasized that the law prohibits drones from being released within five kilometers of the airport.
In Dubai, this problem is frequent, and due to such an incident in September, the airport was closed for half an hour, and before that for 69 minutes in June.
Since February, drone owners are required to register with the United Arab Emirates Civil Aviation Service, AP reminds.
