Due to the intense rain and flooding on Tuesday, April 16, Dubai Airports can confirm that Dubai International (DXB) operations are still severely impacted. Operations were briefly halted this afternoon for 25 minutes due to the strong storm, but they have since resumed and are currently in recovery mode. Since 00:02 LT this morning, 21 outward and 24 inbound flights have been canceled, and 3 planes have been rerouted to other nearby airports, according to the statement.
Until the unfavorable scenario improves, Dubai International (DXB) airport is temporarily diverting inbound flights scheduled to arrive this evening on Tuesday.
