Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO) recently hosted a groundbreaking three-week Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone delivery trial conducted by UAE-based Jeebly LLC and India’s Skye Air Mobility. 

The testing, supported by various authorities including the Dubai Future Foundation and Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, took place at the Dubai Experimental Zone in DSO. 

This zone serves as a real-world test-bed for robotics and autonomous systems development. The initiative is part of the Dubai Programme to Enable Drone Transportation, with the aim of creating infrastructure for an airspace dedicated to unmanned aerial vehicles, enhancing transportation efficiency.

 Dubai has put in place comprehensive standards and legislation to govern drone use and ensure security and safety.

Nora Al Matrooshi, the first female astronaut of the UAE, is set to embark on a space mission in 2024 after completing her graduation. 

Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai, declared this as part of the UAE’s ambitious space exploration ambitions, emphasising the UAE’s objective of becoming a prominent player in the global space sector. 

Along with Al Matrooshi, astronaut Mohammed Al Mulla will take part in pioneering space missions. The UAE’s space programme continues to grow, with forthcoming projects including the launch of the sophisticated MBZ-Sat satellite and the continuing of the Rashid Rover 2 lunar research mission. 

The Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre intends to strengthen the UAE’s position in space exploration, benefiting both the nation and the global world. 

The satellite Payload Hosting Initiative, which promotes space research and technology in underdeveloped nations, was also mentioned.

There have been more flight cancellations to Tel Aviv as the war between Israel and Hamas heats up. Etihad and Flydubai among other Gulf and Indian airlines have halted operations. Flights on Monday were also cancelled, according to Etihad, which stressed the importance of passenger safety. 

Due to the attacks, Flydubai had to cancel two flights on Saturday. On Sunday, business as usual was restored. The Abraham Accords in 2020 led to the establishment of direct flights by UAE airlines to Tel Aviv. 

In the meanwhile, flights to Tel Aviv were also cancelled by Lufthansa, Brussels Airlines, Air France, Iberia, and ITA Airways because of security reasons. Two flights of Air India were cancelled for passenger safety; the length of the disruptions is still unknown. 

Even while several carriers, like United carriers and Air France, announced cancellations, they were still taking reservations online for flights to Tel Aviv on Monday. Both sides of the fight have suffered substantial losses, and hundreds of civilians have been impacted.
