Sharjah International Airport experienced major disruptions in flight schedules today due to severe fog conditions lowering visibility below 500 meters. This reduced visibility created unsafe circumstances for arriving and departing flights at the busy airport.
The airport issued an advisory alerting passengers about the possible cancellations and delays, urging them to check the status of their flights before travelling. The heavy fog also caused hazardous driving conditions on surrounding roads, prompting warnings from authorities.
Safety Precautions and Travel Advice
- Drivers are reminded that the use of hazard lights in fog could lead to fines.
- Reduced depth perception and slower reaction times make driving more risky, particularly affecting lane changes and braking.
- Commuters should maintain safe distances and drive cautiously through fog-covered areas near Sharjah.
Expectations and Support
The local weather department forecasts that the fog may persist for the next few days, potentially extending travel disruptions.
Passengers impacted by cancellations and delays are encouraged to work with their airlines for rescheduling or refunds. Additional airport staff have been deployed to assist affected travellers during this challenging period.
