Dubai's travel and trade face disruptions, but officials say market is strong

Dubai's air travel and gold trade are experiencing significant disruptions. Dubai Airports operated 1,140 flights in 84 hours as it works to clear a backlog, while Emirates is gradually resuming its flight operations. Separately, gold shipments are stranded and being sold at a steep discount due to the disruptions.

Despite these issues, property developer Mohamed Alabbar says the Dubai real estate market remains strong. Meanwhile, authorities are investigating spikes in fruit and vegetable prices, and Fly Dubai is set to resume repatriation flights to Tel Aviv.
