The CEO of Dubai Airports expects services to return to normal within 24 hours after the major transit hub was impacted by severe flooding. Dubai airport, one of the world’s busiest, has experienced chaos with stranded travelers due to the unprecedented rainfall. Emergency budgets have been approved to provide relief for affected passengers. The financial impact is still uncertain.
