DXB has advised passengers to wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (masks and gloves) and to arrive at the airport no less than two hours early in order to allow time for any additional screening measures.
To maintain the health and safety of customers and staff, the airport will continue to implement various precautionary measures, including thermal and temperature screening and increased levels of sanitisation.
Meanwhile, a range of precautionary and preventive measures have been rolled out at Abu Dhabi International Airport following the resumption of flights by national carriers.
The measures include contactless control equipment in elevators, self-sanitising escalators, and the use of modern technologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the sanitation processes.
The airport has adopted these procedures in partnership with relevant Emirati companies to protect the health and safety of their employees and passengers and to reduce the spread of coronavirus.
