Flights restarting in the UAE after airspace disruption

As the air space is mostly closed currently, people are struggling to get in and out - and into that breach stepped Etihad Rail and its repatriation trains.

RTA tells us how they're opening up roads to trucks, ensuring a regular supply of food stuffs and other freight.

We also get analysis on the likely transport priorities for a country during a crisis like this with Martin Tillman.

And we share the stories of people who travelled by land to return to the UAE, including a group of 60 children and adults from Bahrain.
