“Dubai Airport Advisory: Operational ‘Disruption’ Prompts ‘Do Not Come to the Airport’ Notice”

Dubai International (DXB) airport is encountering several “operational challenges” due to the unprecedented weather conditions experienced by the UAE on Tuesday, April 16.

The airport authority is asking people: “NOT to come to the airport, unless absolutely necessary. Flights continue to be delayed and diverted. Please check your flight status directly with your airline.”

Earlier in a statement, DXB said, “We are currently experiencing significant disruption due to the weather and are continuously working with our emergency response teams and service partners to restore normal operations as quickly as possible. Flooding and road blockages have left limited transport options for arriving and departing guests.
