Author: inp

Flights in and out around UAE are being affected by adverse weather conditions, leading to delays, diversions and cancellations.

Dubai airport, one of the busiest in the world, has temporarily paused flight operations, resulting in the cancellation of over 40 flights to Pakistan. Around 43 flights to Pakistan from Dubai have also been cancelled, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded.

Pakistan International Airline’s (PIA) Lahore to Dubai flight PK-203; Dubai to Lahore flight PK-204, and Lahore to Sharjah flight PK-185 had to be cancelled. Similarly, SereneAir’s flight from Lahore to Dubai ER-1723 was delayed by more than 10 hours.

Emirates flight EK-622, from Dubai to Lahore, was delayed by three and a half hours, while last night Lahore-Dubai flight EK-623 was also delayed by four hours.

Dubai’s giant highways were clogged by flooding and airport passengers were urged to stay away on Wednesday as the glitzy financial centre reeled from record rains.
