The air traffic services in Dubai have been suspended for 48 hours effective from December 20th. A statement by Emirates says the suspension was ordered due to a directive that came out of their Civil Aviation Authority with regard to this issue. Affected passengers will not be required immediately, but can redeem their tickets during lift-off when it resumes operations again on Wednesday morning at 6am local time.
“Customers will not be accepted for travel on Emirates flights at Nairobi during this time,” the carrier said on Monday.
“Outbound passenger operations from Dubai to Nairobi remain unaffected.”
Dubai is one among many cities around world dealing with tightening restrictions over recent months because they feel threatened by international events like terrorism or natural disasters which could cause mass panic as well as economic losses if unchecked before airport safety protocols are implemented fully
