Traveler Advisory: Check Before You Go
Authorities have issued a critical advisory for all passengers to prevent overcrowding and ensure smooth operations during this initial phase.
Travelers are strongly advised not to proceed to either DXB or DWC unless they have been contacted directly by their airline with a confirmed departure time.
This measure is intended to manage passenger flow effectively as the airports begin to scale up operations. Passengers without confirmed departure details from their carriers may face significant delays or be unable to access the terminal areas.
Next Steps for Passengers
- Wait for Confirmation: Do not head to the airport until you receive a specific notification from your airline.
- Contact Your Airline: If you have a flight scheduled, check your flight status online or via your airline’s official app for the most up-to-date information.
- Monitor Official Channels: Keep an eye on official updates from Dubai Airports and the Dubai Media Office for further announcements regarding the expansion of flight operations.
