Dubai airport gripped by major disruption as unprecedented rains continue to batter Gulf - Lemmy.World

Operations at Dubai airport are still severely disrupted as heavy rains continue to batter the United Arab Emirates and neighbouring countries. The storm pounded the UAE on Tuesday, flooding roads and the sections of the busy international airport. Flash floods have now killed 20 people in Oman and one in the UAE.  Some inbound flights have resumed on Thursday, but on the whole Dubai international airport, a major travel hub, is barely functional. Authorities at the world’s second-busiest airport said on Thursday that they had started receiving inbound flights at Terminal 1, used by foreign carriers, but that outbound flights continue to be delayed.
