The airport has limited inbound flights, but departures continue to operate.


Dubai International Airport (DXB) has resumed its operations in a limited capacity.
The airport has limited the number of inbound flights on Friday, Apr. 19 until 4:00 p.m. because of the disruption caused by the flooding of the airport's runways earlier this week.
We have temporarily limited inbound flights to #DXB until 04:00, 19 April 2024, due to the ongoing disruption. Departures, however, will continue to operate.

There is a backlog of baggage due to resource constraints, please contact your airline in case of lost baggage.
However, departures will continue to operate, according to the airport authorities. They have requested passengers to only come to the airport if the airline has confirmed the departure.
Passengers are urged to arrive only two hours before their departure time.
⚠️ We urge you to only come to the airport if your airline has confirmed the departure of your flight.

As we're currently facing congestion, please do NOT arrive too early. Aim to get to your terminal no earlier than 2 hours before your departure time.
The airport authorities have made these requests because they are experiencing congestion issues.
The airport will fully resume operations very soon without any hindrances, therefore passengers are requested to be patient.
