Some say the UAE can no longer be called the safest place. We say, the UAE remains the safest place in the region, if not the world. Not a single missile has hit its target. Every, I mean EVERY single missile has been successfully intercepted. That level of defense puts the UAE on an almost unreachable tier of safety. Long live @modgovae

A pair of Etihad flights bound for Abu Dhabi and an Emirates flight bound for Dubai are holding outside of UAE airspace. flightradar24.com/multiview/… The UAE MOD said about an hour ago that air defenses were engaging ballistic missiles launched from Iran.

I’m in touch with the MEA. Advisories are being issued to Indian nationals across the region. Common sense requires them to stay away from US and allied military bases while these attacks are going on. One “Asian national” reported killed in a missile strike on Abu Dhabi. Stay safe, friends.

We call on the public to immediately stay clear of any locations where debris or suspicious objects have fallen, and to refrain from approaching or photographing them, in order to allow the competent authorities to carry out the necessary measures.

Many foreigners are hurling abuse at India, claiming accidents like the Air India crash are “expected.” Time for a quick reality check: India operates 8,000+ flights every day, that is over 3 million a year. Only 2 fatal commercial crashes in 10 years before this. That’s a safety record on par with the U.S. and EU. India ranks 48th in ICAO’s aviation safety oversight rankings ahead of: China (49) Isreal (50) Turkey (54) Norway (52) India also holds FAA Category 1 status, meaning it meets the highest international safety standards. Check facts before spewing hate!

Air India can be a chaotic airline at times, delays, changes and outdated cabins are well-known issues but they aren't unsafe. Their staff is well-trained and India has some of the strictest aviation regulations in the world. I had over 20+ flights on them in the past and I would always fly them again. My thoughts and prayers are with the airline and families today!

Food blogger @blogliterati spotted this notice while dining at a Thai restaurant in Dubai! It says that hotpot diners will be charged double if they have leftovers on their plates by the time they ask for the bill. The restaurant implemented this policy to minimize food waste 🥘
