Chief executive of Dubai Airports Paul Griffiths announced that the full flight schedule has been restored and DXB is back to 1,400 flight movements per day. 

The roads around the airport are 100 percent clear of water accumulation, therefore the airport's logistics and facilities are operating as usual.

DXB revealed that they cancelled 2,155 flights and diverted 115 flights last week because of the water accumulation after the heavy rainfall.
