Filipinos on holiday scramble to get tickets to Dubai after flight disruptions – The National

Filipinos who live in the UAE are struggling to get return tickets to the Emirates after a power cut brought air traffic to a grinding halt at Manila airport on New Year's Day.

Flights have been partially restored at Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport, but many Filipino residents who went home for Christmas are still struggling to rebook tickets because of the backlog.

Many tourists who came to the UAE, and were supposed to fly back on January 1, have also been affected.
