Hospitals brace for uptick in typhoid and bacterial infections; and mosquito- and fly-borne diseases like dengue
Flight operations at the Dubai International (DXB) airport were disrupted due to poor weather conditions on Sunday afternoon. The airport operator said 10 inbound flights were diverted to Dubai World Central (DWC) and “other neighbouring airports”.
A dust storm swept through the UAE, with the Abu Dhabi and Dubai skylines blanketed by a grayish haze throughout Sunday.
According to the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM), visibility dropped to less than 500 metres over Abu Dhabi and Dubai international airports.
“Dubai Airports is working closely with airlines and all our service partners to minimise the impact of the disruption and restore normal operations at the earliest. We apologise to our customers for any inconvenience caused,” the airport operator said.
Flydubai said the weather conditions caused some delays to a “number of our inbound and outbound flights”.
“We are continuing to monitor the situation and we apologise for the inconvenience the adverse weather conditions may have caused our passengers,” said a flydubai spokesperson.
