From September 10, check-in counters for international passengers from Delhi will close 75 minutes prior to scheduled departure time, Air India announced.

Previously, the counter would close 60 minutes before departure. This has been revised to allow "ample time for check-in procedures and security clearance even during busy periods," the airline said in a post on X.

India-Dubai is one of the busiest air corridors as the UAE is home to the highest number of Indian diaspora, accounting for more than one-third of the UAE’s population.

In addition, Dubai is one of the most popular destinations among the Indian tourists. According to Dubai Economy and Tourism figures, India was the top destination for tourists coming to Dubai in the first 10 months of 2023, reaching over 1.99 million.

Those returning from Delhi to UAE must take note of the new closure time, and plan their schedule accordingly, so as to reach the airport on time.
