"We find ourselves navigating the effects of another unprecedented event – this time it’s the highest recorded rainfall in the UAE that has caused major disruption to our operations, our guests and our colleagues.

This is unchartered territory for us and it poses unique challenges but please rest assured, the entire airport community - my Dubai Airports team, airline partners, commercial partners and service partners are working tirelessly and relentlessly to address them. Together, we are working through this situation with resilience and determination.

The patience and cooperation of our guests during this challenging time is greatly appreciated and I sincerely apologise for the frustration and inconvenience caused. Thank you for your understanding."
