An estimated two million passengers are expected to pass through Dubai International Airport between December 29 and January 8 next year, with average daily traffic exceeding 178,000 travellers.
According to Dubai Airports, January 2 will be the busiest day of the holiday season with more than 198,000 passengers expected.
However, as part of increased health and safety measures in light of the increasing cases of Covid-19, only ticketed passengers will be allowed entry to the terminals at DXB during the ongoing peak travel period
Essa Al Shamsi, vice president of Terminal Operations at Dubai Airports, said: “We always advise friends and families of travellers to say their goodbyes at home instead of coming to the airport. This is even more important now given the situation with the pandemic and the high volume of passengers using the airport during the peak holiday season.
“If a friend or family member is flying out of Dubai during the next 10 days, people can help us in a big way in minimising congestion in and around the airport and making travel safer and easier for everyone by simply not coming to the airport to see them off.”
