Dubai airport runway closure starts today as flights shifted to DWC – The National

The refurbishment of the northern runway at Dubai International airport began on Monday and is set for completion on June 22.

As a result of the essential works, the world’s busiest international airport will be reduced to a one-runway operation. More than 1,000 flights per week have been relocated to Dubai World Central (DWC) over the 45-day period, largely those operated by flydubai, Spice Jet and Indigo.

Dubai Airports is urging passengers to double check their departure airport and terminal before travelling by contacting their selected airline or by visiting www.dubaiairports.ae.
