Dubai: Dubai International Airport is set to resume total operational capacity within 24 hours, following a brief disruption caused by heavy rain that hit the United Arab Emirates earlier this week. According to Dubai Airport Chief Operating Officer Majed Al Joker, the airport had been forced to deal with a backlog of delayed flights due to the adverse weather conditions.
In a recent interview with Al Arabiya TV, Al Joker confirmed that once the airport had returned to normal operations, a full assessment of any damages caused would be carried out. The size of any losses incurred will likely be determined following the completion of this assessment.
The news relieves passengers who have faced significant delays and cancellations due to the disruption and is likely to positively impact the broader economy.
The aviation sector is a crucial driver of economic growth in the UAE, and the return to normal operations at Dubai International Airport is likely to be a positive development for investors and businesses alike.
Experts have hailed the swift response of authorities in dealing with the situation, which has prevented further disruption and allowed the airport to return to normal operations in a timely manner. With the global economy recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses and investors worldwide will likely welcome the news of the airport's return to total operational capacity.
