A total of 77 highly trained cadets officially earned their wings to fly as they successfully graduated from the Emirates Flight Training Academy (EFTA) at their glittering sixth graduation ceremony following months of rigorous training in December 2025.

Schools in Dubai will finish earlier on Fridays starting January 9, 2026, following a nationwide adjustment to Friday prayer schedules, according to the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA).

In a statement, the KHDA said the change aligns with the new Friday prayer time of 12.45pm and comes after consultations with educational institutions across the emirate.
