DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Long-haul carrier Emirates said Friday it would again halt local check-in for passengers traveling on its flights as the wider United Arab Emirates tries to recover from record-setting rains this week.
Emirates said the order would go through the entire day into early Saturday.
“This is to support operations recovery from the recent bad weather at our Dubai hub,” the airline said on the social platform X.
Low-cost carrier FlyDubai also saw some disruptions. Dubai International Airport, the world’s busiest for international travel, hoped to be back on a normal schedule within 24 hours, its CEO told The Associated Press late Thursday.
The UAE, a hereditarily ruled, autocratic nation on the Arabian Peninsula, typically sees little rainfall in its arid desert climate. However, a massive storm forecasters had been warning about for days blew through the country’s seven sheikhdoms.
