In an official statement, the GCAA confirmed that the decision follows a comprehensive assessment of current operational and security conditions. The authority noted that the move was coordinated with relevant strategic partners to ensure a seamless return to standard flight schedules.

The regulator emphasized that it continues to conduct real-time monitoring of regional developments to maintain the highest global standards of aviation safety and security.

The GCAA expressed its appreciation for the cooperation shown by passengers and airline operators during the period of disruption. It further reaffirmed the readiness of its technical and operational teams to respond effectively to any future developments as they arise.

The temporary restrictions had been implemented as a proactive measure amid regional tensions, but today’s announcement signals a return to business as usual for one of the world’s busiest international aviation hubs.
