Dubai Airport to reopen runway after 45 days
Dubai International is on track to open its southern runway Thursday evening after it was closed 45 days for refurbishment works. The closure of the runway, 1 of 2 at the airport, led Emirates to cancel many flights, while Flydubai moved some of its flights to the city’s second airport, Al Maktoum International. Flydubai said its flights that were moved to DWC have resumed as planned from Dubai International. Emirates said that it will be resuming the regular operating schedule, which includes over 1,700 flights a week. A spokesperson for the airline also said Emirates plans to ramp up operations to several regions from June 1, including destinations in Europe and Africa. Before the runway shut down, Dubai Airports explained that the southern runway was “nearing the end of its design life”. <br/>
