Interpretation

All foreign air operators planning flights to or from airports in the United Arab Emirates must complete an operational risk assessment and obtain a no‑objection notification from the UAE GCAA before operating. Exemptions apply to private flights, MEDEVAC flights, and state aircraft. Requests with the risk assessment must be submitted to [email protected]. The no‑objection notification covers all operations in the UAE and is not flight‑specific, and operations may only commence after receipt of the official notification.
