Essa Al Shamsi, Vice President of Terminal Operations at Dubai Airport, said: This is even more important given the high number of passengers using the airport during peak pandemics and holiday seasons. If my friends and family are leaving Dubai for the next 10 days, people are trying to minimize congestion in and around the airport so that everyone can travel safely and easily without having to come to the airport. Will help us a lot. Turn them off. “

Arshamushi also urged travelers not to arrive at the airport more than three hours before departure when departing from Terminal 1 or 2 by plane to ease congestion.
