✈️ DUBAI AIRPORT TRAFFIC PLUNGES: Dubai International Airport passenger traffic fell 31% in the first half of 2026 to 31.5 million, down from 46 million a year earlier, as the Iran war triggered widespread cancellations, airport closures and airspace restrictions across the Gulf, Reuters reports. March was the worst month, with traffic plunging 65% year-over-year, while only about 50 of the usual 90 international airlines were operating by midyear. The disruption derailed the airport’s push toward 100 million annual passengers after a record 95.2 million in 2025
