Combating coronavirus: Vending machines at Dubai airport to dispense PPE kits for Dh6

Dubai - The machines dispense PPE kits containing a mask and a pair of gloves, and also offer two varieties of sanitisers.

To keep passengers protected at all times during travel, Dubai Airports has installed vending machines selling PPE (personal protective equipment) at airport terminals.

The two PPE vending machines are located in the departure areas of DXB's Terminal 2 and Terminal 3.

The machines dispense PPE kits containing a mask and a pair of gloves. Each kit costs Dh6. The machine also offers two varieties of sanitisers, both costing Dh9 each. More products are expected to be added in the coming days, including European-made and certified reusable face masks.

In addition to cargo and repatriation flights, which continued throughout the Covid-19 related suspension of operations since March 24, DXB is handling a number of scheduled passenger flights from Terminal 3 to select destinations from May 21.
