Further flight delays expected following Dubai Airports' runway closure
Dubai: Dubai Airports said the closure of both runways at Dubai
International at 6:45am resulted in the diversion of 50 flights to a
number of airports in the region including Dubai World Central, Al Ain,
Doha Abu Dhabi, Dammam, Muscat and Bahrain among others.
"The closures were caused by the loss of power to a critical runway
backup system required during foggy conditions. Runway operations were
restored at 8:30am. Dubai Airports is working with airlines, air traffic
and ground services staff to restore operations, clear the backlog and
limit customer inconvenience," according to Dubai Airports.
Further flight delays are expected as a result of the disruption.
Dubai Airports advised passengers to check with their airline or
airline websites for further information on flight arrival and departure
time.
