Dubai Airports has confirmed that the Northern Runway Rehabilitation project at Dubai International (DXB) will begin today, May 9, until June 22.

The essential works being carried out will see the world’s busiest international airport’s operations reduce to a single-runway operation.

To minimise disruption to guests, more than 1,000 flights per week are scheduled to arrive and depart from Dubai World Central (DWC) during the 45-day period, with the majority of those flights being operated by flydubai, Spice Jet and Indigo.
