Check-ins resumed at Terminal 2 on Saturday night after it was temporarily suspended due to a fire incident, a Dubai International Airport (DXB) spokesperson confirmed to Khaleej Times.

"Check-in at Terminal 2 is now operating normally," DXB said. The check-in services in the terminal, used by roughly 50 different airlines, were impacted on July 20 and after over 40 minutes authorities announced the resumption of the system.


The authority earlier said in a statement that a minor fire had broken out, which is why check-ins had been suspended temporarily. The fire was "immediately brought under control by the airport fire services", it said in the statement.

This terminal has four main levels open to passengers, with Level 1 containing the arrivals area. Level 3 is home to the departures area where you'll go if you are flying out of Dubai. The check-in counters are located here, as well as ticket sale desk and cashier services.

Dubai Terminal 2 is the main hub for Dubai-based airline flydubai and offers scheduled and charter flights for a wide range of carriers.
