Dubai, the world’s busiest airport for international travel, will no longer allow the Boeing 737 MAX 8 or 737 MAX 9 to take off or land on its runways after the controversial models were banned by the United Arab Emirates government.
“Following the Ethiopian Airways crash involving a Boeing 737-8 MAX, the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority issued a Safety Decision banning the operation of all Boeing 737 MAX models in the UAE airspace with effect from 13 March 2019, 00:01 UTC Time until further notice,” a statement read.
It said the ban was a “precautionary measure” and that the GCAA would monitor and reassess the situation as more information on the latest incident was obtained.
Dubai International Airport, home to the flagship national carrier Emirates Airlines, saw 89.1 million travelers pass through its terminals in 2018, making it the world’s busiest hub for international travel. The UAE is also home to budget airline Fly Dubai, as well as the Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airlines and the Sharjah-based Air Arabia.
The ban, it follows, represents a major blow for Boeing amidst a global backlash against the company’s insistence on the model’s safety and similar groundings of the jet from the European Union to China.
Tremendous things here. I am very glad to look your article. Thank you so much and I am taking a look ahead to touch you. Will you please drop me a e-mail?|
Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Chrome. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon.

Hey there this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!|
Very good info. Lucky me I discovered your website by accident (stumbleupon). I have book-marked it for later!|
Pretty! This has been an extremely wonderful article. Many thanks for supplying this information.|
