Additionally, Air Arabia cancelled one arrival and one departure flight on the Sharjah route, while SalamAir suspended one inbound and one outbound flight on the Muscat route during the same period.
Despite the cancellations, flight operations showed signs of recovery, with 15 international arrivals and 11 departures handled over the two days. Routes connecting Sharjah, Dubai and Abu Dhabi have started to see a gradual resumption of regular services.
Airport Public Relations Officer Engineer Mohammad Ibrahim Khalil said the impact of the Middle East conflict has been significant, with a total of 297 international flights cancelled between 28 February and 11 April.
He added that while the ceasefire has helped improve the situation, full normalcy in flight operations will depend on sustained stability in the region.
