Flight reductions at DXB are real but stem from the Iran-Israel conflict that began in late February 2026 — not from any airport-authored plan. Dubai Airports' own communications frame changes as temporary precautions with gradual resumption underway, and its most recent pre-conflict outlook projected record traffic approaching 99.5 million passengers. The claim's phrasing — "has plans to reduce" — materially misrepresents reactive, externally imposed disruptions as deliberate airport strategy.
