Abu Dhabi, April 19

The Indian embassy in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Friday advised the inbound Indian passengers travelling to or transiting through Dubai International Airport to reschedule non-essential travel till operations normalise after the city witnessed unprecedented rains this week. The UAE is trying to recover from the record-setting rains this week which have caused massive flooding in Dubai and surrounding areas.

The embassy in the advisory said while the UAE authorities were working round the clock to ensure normalisation of operations, the airport authorities have advised that passengers may travel to the airport “only after” final confirmation from the respective airlines regarding the departure date and time of flights.

Due to disruption caused by unprecedented weather conditions in the UAE earlier this week, the Dubai International Airport has temporarily limited the number of inbound flights, the advisory said.

The Dubai International Airport, the world’s busiest for international travel, hoped to be back on a normal schedule within 24 hours.

“Inbound Indian passengers travelling to or transiting through the Dubai International Airport are advised to reschedule non-essential travel till operations normalise,” the statement said.
