An unauthorised drone forced Dubai airport to halt air traffic for about half an hour on Wednesday, the airport authority said.
Airspace around the world's busiest airport for international flights was closed between 8:08 and 8:35 am (0408 and 0435 GMT) "due to unauthorised drone activity," Dubai Airports said on its Twitter account.
"Safety is our top priority and we remind all UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) operators that activities are not permitted within five kilometres of any airport or landing area."
