Thick fog covered parts of the UAE early Tuesday, causing delays for several Emirates flights arriving and departing from Dubai airport. The dense fog reduced visibility to only a few hundred meters in areas including Dubai and Sharjah. Authorities reported disruptions in both air and road traffic as a result.
Numerous flights faced delays as pilots and air traffic control ensured safety amid poor weather conditions. Travelers at Dubai airport experienced waiting times and rescheduling as operations adjusted to the reduced visibility.
Meteorologists warn that such fog events may continue in the region during this season, urging commuters and airlines to prepare accordingly. The Dubai airport administration confirmed they are actively monitoring weather updates and coordinating with airlines to minimize inconvenience.
Passengers are advised to check flight statuses before heading to the airport.
