UAE authorities announce fine exemptions for stranded passengers. The Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security has waived fines for travellers unable to depart due to regional flight disruptions and airspace closures. The exemption applies to visitors on tourist visas and residents who cancelled permits, covering penalties incurred from February 28 onwards. This measure allows affected individuals to regularise their legal status without additional financial burden. Specialised support teams continue operating across airports and Customer Happiness Centres to assist passengers. The decision reflects the UAE's humanitarian approach to crisis management during exceptional circumstances beyond traveller control.
