## UAE aviation authority warns seasonal visibility may affect flights

On 17 October, the General Civil Aviation Authority said seasonal weather conditions can bring reduced horizontal visibility in some parts of the UAE. Depending on conditions and safety requirements, this may affect flight operations and cause limited delays.

Airlines and airport operators apply established operational procedures, and travellers should follow schedule updates issued through those operators’ official channels. The notice was precautionary and did not identify a specific cancellation or airport disruption.
