Emirates Urges Passengers To Avoid Visiting Airport Without Confirmed Flight Booking
Emirates Airlines's check-in suspension on Wednesday morning, April 17, was scheduled until midnight but was later extended further. This suspension continued until 9am on Thursday, April 18. And now, as the airline resumes check-in operations, passengers are advised to proceed to the airport only if they have a confirmed flight booking, as the airport remains congested.
In a statement, Emirates said, "Customers impacted by flight cancellations should contact their booking agent, DM the airline on X, or visit the Emirates website for rebooking. There may still be delays to arriving and departing flights. Please check the latest flight schedules on the website."
