Passengers flying out of Dubai have been advised to rebook their flights while check-in for arrivals and transfer flights continues to operate as normal with expected delays…
Emirates airline has suspended check-in for passengers flying out of Dubai International (DXB) on Wednesday, April 17 from 8am, after the UAE suffers the heaviest rainfall it’s seen in 75 years.
The Dubai-based airline stated that check-in will be suspended until midnight on April 17 “due to operational challenges caused by bad weather and road conditions.” Passengers affected can contact their booking agent or rebook their flights online: emirates.com
According to Emirates: “Passengers arriving in Dubai and already in transit will continue to be processed for their flights. Customers can expect delays to departures and arrivals, and are advised to check the latest flight schedules on https://emirat.es/flightstatus”
Travelling today? Here are the latest updates from UAE airports.
The announcement comes as Dubai International warns people not to go the airport unless absolutely necessary, after suffering significant disruption due to the weather, with flooding and road blockages causing passengers limited transport options to get into the airport.
After being forced to shut down all operations for 25 minutes, the world’s busiest international airport, DXB, temporarily diverted all inbound flights on the evening of Tuesday, April 16, “until the situation improves”.
