Dubai airport grounds flights due to 'drone activity'
28 September 2016 Middle East
Dubai International Airport was forced to ground flights for half an hour due to a drone flying in the area, the airport says.
It said airspace around the airport closed just after 08:00 local time (04:00 GMT) on Wednesday because of "unauthorised drone activity".
Arrivals resumed at 08:35, with full operations restarting by 09:07.
It is not the first time drones have delayed flights at the airport, one of the world's busiest.
