Early morning foggy weather conditions continued to disrupt airport operations in the UAE Monday, with dozens of flights to and from Dubai reported to be delayed or cancelled on the second day of the New Year. As of 8am, at least 28 incoming flights bound for Dubai International from India, New York, United Kingdom, Oman, Sri Lanka and Kuwait were expected to be delayed. Flydubai also cancelled 9 outgoing flights as of Monday. The airline had earlier cancelled 21 trips on New Year’s Eve. Monday also happens to be one of the busiest times to travel back to Dubai. UAE-based carriers had warned that flight disruptions due to bad weather, which left hundreds of passengers stranded in the last few days in the UAE, were expected to continue today. <br/>
