In the wake of unprecedented rains and subsequent floods in Dubai and nearby areas, the Bharatiya Embassy in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has issued an advisory urging inbound Bharatiya travelers to reschedule non-essential trips to or through Dubai International Airport until normalcy is restored. The city has been grappling with the aftermath of heavy rainfall this week, leading to significant disruptions in various services and infrastructure.
The advisory underscores the efforts of UAE authorities who are working tirelessly to restore normal operations amidst the challenging weather conditions.
However, due to the effect of the rains, Dubai International Airport, one of the busiest hubs for international travel, has temporarily limited the number of inbound flights.
According to the embassy’s statement, passengers are advised to proceed to the airport only upon receiving final confirmation from their respective airlines regarding the departure date and time of their flights. This precautionary measure aims to minimize inconvenience and ensure a smoother travel experience for affected individuals.
The Indian Embassy has also highlighted the proactive steps taken by the Consulate General of Bharat in Dubai, which has activated emergency helpline numbers to assist Bharatiya nationals stranded or facing difficulties at the airport. These helplines have been operational since April 17, providing necessary support and guidance to those in need.
Dubai International Airport authorities are working diligently to restore operations to normalcy within the next 24 hours, aiming to alleviate the disruption caused by the adverse weather conditions. Despite the challenges posed by the recent rains, concerted efforts are underway to ensure the safety and well-being of all passengers and residents in the affected areas.
In light of the ongoing situation, Bharatiya travelers are advised to exercise caution and stay informed about any updates or changes to their travel plans.
By cooperating with the guidance provided by authorities and airlines, individuals can help mitigate the impact of the weather-related disruptions and ensure a smoother transition back to regular operations at the airport.
