Capacity restriction imposed after the crash-landing of Emirates EK521 has been lifted and the airport is back to normal, the Dubai Airports confirmed on Saturday.
According to Dubai International Airport authorities, even larger air crafts returned to its regular scheduled activity sooner than anticipated.
"We continue to work with our airline partners and stakeholders in order to ensure that the few remaining passengers affected by the disruption reach their ultimate destination as soon as possible," a statement released on Saturday said.
The affected runways at the Dubai airport have already became operational on Thursday at 5.45pm following the August 3 incident, involving the EK521 flight from Thiruvananthapuram to Dubai.

Meanwhile, India-based Jet Airways on Saturday announced that it will resume Dubai-bound services on Sunday.
On August 4 and 5, the Indian carrier operated wide-body aircraft to Dubai and rerouted its narrow body aircraft to Sharjah to facilitate the travel of its guests ensuring minimum disruption, given the limited operating slots at Dubai.
On these two days, Jet Airways operated one A330 and three Boeing 777 aircraft to and from Dubai with 1,786 guests and 16 flights on Boeing 737 aircraft to and from Sharjah with 2,237 guests.
On Saturday, Jet Airways rerouted some of its Dubai departures to Delhi and Mangalore from Sharjah. With this, Jet Airways completed the successful transfer of all Dubai-bound guests from India.
Over the last three days, Jet Airways teams in Dubai and Sharjah have worked round the clock at both the airports to facilitate the transit of guests and take care of their requirements due to the unforeseen change in schedules.
